   Hi Maurice!   
      
   04 Jun 2018 12:40, from Maurice Kinal -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    RM>> LATIN-1 is an alias for ISO 8859-1.   
   MK> Wrong.  LATIN1 is an alias for ISO 8859-1, amongst other aliases none   
    MK> of which are LATIN-1.   
      
   The fact that it is not mentioned as a gconv-module does not make my statement   
   wrong for Fidonet.    
   Take a look at FTS5003 http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5003.001   
      
   "Level 2 character sets (eight-bit, ASCII based) LATIN-1     ISO 8859-1   
   (Western European)"    
   As of why it was named LATIN-1 instead of LATIN1 I do not know.   
   But it makes it absolutely clear what LATIN-1 means in the context of Fidonet.    
    MK> The above can be verified by iana.org   
   The above can be verified for the Fidonet context on ftsc.org
