   Hallo Benny!   
      
    BP> how should it look like in latin-1 ?   
      
   The output on latin1 will look like garbage since the special characters are   
   Cyrillic.  As for latin-1 your guess is as good as mine as to what it *really*   
   is but if you believe the FTSC people then it is iso-8859-1 which of course is   
   wrong.  iso-8859-1 is latin1 as well as a few other aliases, none of which is   
   latin-1.   
      
   DOS-think in Dansk should be DOS-tænke ... or is it?   
      
   As for what it looks like in latin1 try converting this reply to latin1 and   
   you will know.  As for the Russian DOS-think it cannot be converted to latin1   
   but looks fine in both utf8 and cp866, as well as a few others which aren't   
   supported in fidonet.
