   Hello Rob,

   How do you know it is CP437? Detecting that it is NOT UTF-8 is relatively   
   easy, but then detecting what 8 bit encoding it actually is, almost requires   
   passing the Turing test. It could be CP850 which differs only in a few places   
   from CP437. Or CP866 or CP1251...

   Great!   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
