   Such a table exists already, Scott.  It's created for GoldEd which uses   
   similar-looking hoosiemahjiggers (i.e. file contents and directory names); it   
   may be workable for JamNNTPd as well...

    This file is a Golded+ charset conversion module in text form.   
      
    This module converts UTF-8 characters to IBM CP850 characters.   
    For now only the characters in the range u+00C0 - u+00FF   
      
    Characters outside this range are displayed as a rectangle followed by   
    one, two or three nonsence characters.

   Ask him.  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
