CP437 and       other old-school codepage characters are only one byte wide... any       ""conversion"" might come from translating between single byte codepages where       the character glyph is transliterated from one position in the first codepage       to another position in the second codepage where its glyph is stored... in       that case, the raw byte changes because the position in the codepage changed       and the byte is the position...                     )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey       Do you manage your own servers?
