Good evening Richard,

I have configured my editor to assume CP850 (DOS Latin1) charset,

Excuse me for dropping in, but CP850 is named "Multilingual",
not Latin1, in the litterature I have available.

Latin 1, or as you call it Latin?, comes in the ISO 8859-? code pages.


Have a good night,

Holger

Hallo Richard!

Microsoft calls it "Code Page 850 MS-DOS Latin 1"

Given this is the LINUX echo and that the vast majority of linux systems are glibc based, then this should take precedence;

-={ grep "IBM850//" /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules }=-
alias CP850// IBM850//
alias 850// IBM850//
alias CSPC850MULTILINGUAL// IBM850//
alias OSF10020352// IBM850//
module IBM850// INTERNAL IBM850 1 module INTERNAL IBM850// IBM850 1

Looks to me that IBM should be the goto guys as far as what CP850 should be called and the only hit I could come up with that might help settle the issue is;

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQ2R2_9.1.1/com.ibm.etools.cbl.win.doc/topics/rlinfcpg.htm

However I cannot access it since it requires javascript and I do not have a browser that supports javascript and I have no plans to ever have a browser with javascript capabilities. For the record the Microsoft link you gave worked fine without javascript. Also I have no plans to convert or ever use CP850 so it really doesn't matter what it is really called, or if it even matters in the grand scheme of things. IBM can keep it.

Stinkin' IBM.

is much more what is in use on fidonet

Looks to me that IBM should be the goto guys as far as what CP850
should be called and the only hit I could come up with that might help settle the issue is;

ibm breaked alot of codepage imho when the battle was done with compaq and other firms belive to have a solved problem solved, we all know today its not solved, not even for fidonet to see multibyte solutions to a single byte computer system like commodore 64

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQ2R2_9.1.1/com.ibm.et ools.cbl.win.doc/topics/rlinfcpg.htm

However I cannot access it since it requires javascript and I do not
have a browser that supports javascript

who breaked this for you ? :)

and I have no plans to ever
have a browser with javascript capabilities.

For the record the
Microsoft link you gave worked fine without javascript.

if just webmasters do a better job, GDPR would never be needed

Also I have

Hallo Benny!

If you would have grep'ped for LATIN-1 instead the list would have been less (zero) then what is used in fidonet, although I am still not convinced that those who claim to be using it actually are ... especially considering that it doesn't really exist.

who breaked this for you ? :)

Nobody. I never used javascript, nevermind IBM's version of javascript. What for? Same with java which last time I looked Google was listing as the number one app producer which probably explains why there are exactly zero Google apps
here. I use their search engine but that doesn't require javascript or a java application to work ... or at least at my end.

fun things is you showed ibm

I seriously doubt they are listening.

a android app that create javascripts malware ?

I use their search engine
but that doesn't require javascript or a java application to work ...
or at least at my end.

bravo, html does not need anything other then aweb on amiga, or some other textmode browser on amiga will do

Hallo Benny!

No but instead I would have wondered what your msged uses as LATIN-1 given that
it doesn't really exist including the list you provided. ;-)

ibm javascript is what google uses ? :)

Not that I am aware of. As for java I think they were using Oracle's version which they bought from Sun when they went out of business. I know there was a lawsuit against Google ages ago over licencing issues.

a android app that create javascripts malware ?

Again not that I am aware of. I don't use any javascript up to including any javascript apps from Google.

bravo, html does not need anything other then aweb on amiga, or
some other textmode browser on amiga will do

Agreed. Here I mostly use the links browser but still occasionally use lynx. Not as much as I use to but I still have it available.

i wont care if thay do, and learn :)

Sure why not? ;-)

Well, this is the first time I see Latin 1 mentioned in connection with
a DOS (PC8, PC-DOS, ASCII or High ASCII) code page.

What does M$ call CP437 then????


Have a nice day,

You would have been able to answer your own question with the link I sent you above:

"Code Page 437 MS-DOS Latin US"

That is an alias I did not hear/read before either ;)

Heh, heh, I have never trusted M$ and the only reason I have a couple of Windows machines is that they have been thrown at me.

Nor have I.
Latin any number doesn't belong to the ASCII, DOS or PC8 code pages.
