   IBMPC was indeed originally meant to be CP437. But somehow it evolved to mean   
   ANY IBM PC codepage and so another kludge was introduced as an addendum. The   
   CODEPAGE kludge.    
   All that is deprecated. The correct wat to indicate the encoding is the CHRS   
   kludge.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
