Hey Someone!

I think this might be worth the extra bytes;

  :read !grep 'PC8' /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules | tr -s '\t' ' ' | column
-t
alias  CSPC8CODEPAGE437//     IBM437//
alias  CSPC850MULTILINGUAL//  IBM850//
alias  CSPC862LATINHEBREW//   IBM862//

To rehash the original search for all the legitimate aliases for ISO-8859-1
this looks good;

  :read !grep 'ISO-8859-1//$' /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules | tr -s '\t' '
' | column -t
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//

Now let us check the above out on the BBS to make sure.  The long lines will
get screwed up but the output should look okay (lined up in columns) thanks to
coreutils' "column -t" command.

Life is good,
Maurice
