Hallo Richard!   
      
    RM> Microsoft calls it "Code Page 850 MS-DOS Latin 1"   
      
   Given this is the LINUX echo and that the vast majority of linux systems are   
   glibc based, then this should take precedence;   
      
   -={ grep "IBM850//" /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules }=-   
   alias	CP850//			IBM850//   
   alias	850//			IBM850//   
   alias	CSPC850MULTILINGUAL//	IBM850//   
   alias	OSF10020352//		IBM850//   
   module	IBM850//		INTERNAL		IBM850		1   
   module	INTERNAL		IBM850//		IBM850		1   
      
   Looks to me that IBM should be the goto guys as far as what CP850 should be   
   called and the only hit I could come up with that might help settle the issue   
   is;

   However I cannot access it since it requires javascript and I do not have a   
   browser that supports javascript and I have no plans to ever have a browser   
   with javascript capabilities.  For the record the Microsoft link you gave   
   worked fine without javascript.  Also I have no plans to convert or ever use   
   CP850 so it really doesn't matter what it is really called, or if it even   
   matters in the grand scheme of things.  IBM can keep it.   
      
   Stinkin' IBM.   
      
   Het leven is goed,
