Hey Maurice!

 MK> Excellent.  Definetly worth the extra bytes

Just to complete this particular fix wrt gconv-modules, I am including a small
table of legitimate IBM437 aliases below.  Note the change in the "tr" call as
the squeezed tab substitution is no longer required when using the "column -t"
call.  Instead - in this particular case - I am deploying "tr -d '/'" to delete
the slashes from the end of the fields thusly;

  :read !grep 'IBM437//$' /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules | tr -d '/' |
column -t
alias  CP437             IBM437
alias  437               IBM437
alias  CSPC8CODEPAGE437  IBM437
alias  OSF100201B5       IBM437

I think this looks much better.  I should also mention that I didn't bother
verifying the above information simply because I don't want to.  I have
complete confidence in the glibc people on this matter ... until someone proves
otherwise which is highly unlikely given the performance thus far.  :::evil
grin:::

Life is good,
Maurice
