Hello August,

The identifier used in Fidonet to identify IBM codepage 437 is CP437. Period.

See FTS-5003.

It seems it was written for e-mail and usenet mail and FTN was added as an afterthought. Not an approach I favour. For use in Fidonet I prefer software written for Fidonet and Fidonet only. At least it saves you from mixing up the jargon used in the different environments.

Once again Fidionet != Internet.

You are the one using the program, you are the one responsible.

Cheers, Michiel
