AG> to what I know "CHRS: IBMPC 2" is the standard for CP437
and only MsgEd
 AG> refers to it as "CHRS: CP437 2".

In my, slightly misguided, attempt at writing a new standards document for
the CHRS kludge a couple of years ago, I tried to disambiguate the
"IBMPC" tag by recommending explicitly using "CP437" or
"CP850" or similar. Some programs have implemented it, but it
hasn't caught on.

In some Russian echos, it's not uncommon for "IBMPC" to mean
CP866, as well :-/


Now that I really know something about characters encodings and Unicode (I
work with that stuff), I really ought to try to write a proper document,
but I don't even know if the FTSC is functioning anymore, nor if anyone
would ever care, considering that Fidonet is more or less dead, clinging on
to mostly dead software and technology.
