   Hey Ozz!   
      
    ON> Wikipedia's CP437 html uses invalid UTF-8 codes to represent the   
    ON> high-bit DOS character set.   
      
   For the record do you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437 ?   
      
   I checked a few against the table I posted and so far noticed that 0x81, 0x82,   
   and 0x83 show the proper characters as well as correct utf8 code BUT display   
   the wrong hex code when highlighting the character in question.  Near as I can   
   tell thus far - and I don't plan to go any further with this since I have no   
   use for this information - the table I posted shows the correct hex codes and   
   do match the proper utf8 codes unlike the table https://en.wikip   
   dia.org/wiki/Code_page_437 where at least three of the hex codes are obviously   
   wrong when compared to what the actual character displayed and the posted utf8   
   code for that character.   
      
   Let me know if this is a worthwhile pursuit as near as I can tell it is of   
   zero consequence in the grand scheme of things, nevermind fidonet and   
   definetly the bogus CHRS kludge.  :::evil grin:::   
      
   Life is good,
