Hello, Bj”rn!

Saturday February 24 2024 03:11, from Bj”rn Wiberg -> Nil Alexandrov:

 NA>> Where is the CHRS kludge?
 BW> Mystic BBS (its editor) doesn't provide any CHRS kludge yet.

Your default charset may vary from CP437 AKA ASCII, AKA AMIGA, CP850 AKA LATIN, AKA LATIN-1, all the way to the other side of the world to CP866 which is +7FIDO, +7_FIDO, +7 FIDO, CP866, CP866 2, CP-866, CP 866, IBM866, RUSSIAN, X-CP866, and yes, I have collected all aliases over the years.

 BW> I'm still hoping for this to be added in a future release.

Well, you can easily put utf-8 4 as CHRS, that is the thing, you do not speak other languages.

 NA>> This is how fucked up this looks at my screen

 BW> It might be a good idea to use CP437 as a default in case a CHRS
 BW> kludge is missing

I have seen GoldED is doing it.

 BW>  (albeit FTS-5003.001 says ASCII),

AKA CP437.

 BW>  as that is what most software used back in the day.

Pretty much cover the North American region, except Quebec haha.
