Hey Kees!

 KvE> A bit of a problem with LATIN-1

There is no such thing.  You must have meant to say LATIN1 which is the
official alias for ISO-8859-1.  ;-)

Besides that, it cannot be converted to ANY 8-bit character set since there are
two languages there that cannot be expressed in LATIN1;  Russian and Greek.

UTF-8 is the *only* way to proceed if internationalization of Fidonet is a goal
while maintaining compatibilty with ASCII.

Life is good,
Maurice
