Hi,

 AG> We don't neccessarily need this one. We can handle this by creating

"CHRS: IBMPC 2" is

 AG> 2".
For me this won't help much. In german echos you will encounter problems,
because there you have a lot of messages with a "CHRS: IBMPC 2"
kludge, but CP850 encoding. CP437 will not work correctly AFAIK. We can add
an alias to CP437 in the default configuration. It is much better to be
able to change this dynamically. This might not be "correct", but
it is more userfriendly.

Ciao
Meikel
