Hey Benny!

 BP> change to html, with all readers support

Speaking for myself, I decided against html back in the late 1980's when I ran
across it on a dumb terminal on VAX/VMS.  It looked like hell.  Way worse than
some fidonet abandonware rendering unwrapped text.  However I think it might be
a better choice for most given what they have in the way of useable apps on
modern OS's.

 BP> if we change lets change in a good way, not make we need another
 BP> encoding format

I've always used ascii but now that I've been playing with utf-8 I would (and
have) promote it's usage rather than all of the official, supported 8 bit
encodings.  Failing that I am sticking with 7 bit ascii.

 BP> you dont need that, tidy is you friend

Heh, heh.  I still don't have it onboard although I have looked at it in the
past.  I think it might be abandonware but don't quote me on that.

 BP> are you sure latin1 is more correct then latin-1

Yes.  According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1 the official
aliases are: iso-ir-100, csISOLatin1, latin1, l1, IBM819, and CP819.  Also try
"grep ISO-8859-1// /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules" as that will list the ones
supported by iconv.

 BP> amiga have always being latin-1

Then amiga has always been wrong.

 BP> maybe i just need to start amiga up again

Knock yourself out.  Personally I avoid moving backwards especially when
backwards was wrong when it was considered forwards.  There is usually a good
reason for abandonware being abandoned.  Not always but usually.

Life is good,
Maurice
