subject: what does this do? ... probably nothing as usual.

Hey mark!

It cannot be done in CP437.  The experiment was to see what BBBS would map
it out to as that would tell the tale about what LATIN-1 truly is as far as
it is concerned.  From what I could tell it really is ISO-8859-1 despite
that LATIN-1 is *NOT* an alias for it and never was or will be.  Now I read
that HTML5 is replacing it with CP1252 since over 90% of users actually are
using CP1252 whether or not they know that they are.

Life is good,
Maurice
