Hey mark!

 ml> you already used iconv to validate that they are aliases of
 ml> ISO-8859-1...

The opposite is true.  I used iconv to show that the aren't aliases of
ISO-8859-1.

  echo -e "A Møøse once bit my sister..." | iconv -f utf8 -t latin-1

produces the following error;

  iconv: conversion to `latin-1' is not supported
  Try `iconv --help' or `iconv --usage' for more information.

Whereas a valid alias such as latin1 produces the proper conversion which are
the ISO-8859-1 codes for the slashed o's and ASCII chararcters for everything
else.  Also the acceptable aliases for ISO-8859-1 are as follows;

  grep 'ISO-8859-1//' /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules | grep '^alias'
alias   ISO-IR-100//            ISO-8859-1//
alias   ISO_8859-1:1987//       ISO-8859-1//
alias   ISO_8859-1//            ISO-8859-1//
alias   ISO8859-1//             ISO-8859-1//
alias   ISO88591//              ISO-8859-1//
alias   LATIN1//                ISO-8859-1//
alias   L1//                    ISO-8859-1//
alias   IBM819//                ISO-8859-1//
alias   CP819//                 ISO-8859-1//
alias   CSISOLATIN1//           ISO-8859-1//
alias   8859_1//                ISO-8859-1//
alias   OSF00010001//           ISO-8859-1//

All the above are easily confirmed by searching the appropriate online
documentation.  I suggest IANA but there are many others who post the
legitimate aliases for registered character sets/encodings.

As shown above there is NO such aliases as LATIN-1 or latin-1 and especially
not "Latin 1" or "latin 1".  The facts simply do not support such a claim no
matter what you believe.

 ml> i believe you are just being pedantic and playing ignorant :shrug:

Again you have no evidence to support your beliefs.  I have bent over backwards
providing suitable and verifiable evidence to support the above listed aliases
as legitimate aliases for ISO-8859-1.  I cannot and will not falsely claim that
LATIN-1 or any form of it other than LATIN1 (latin1) as a useable alias for any
software deployed bu this fine and upstanding Fidonet node.

Life is good,
Maurice
