But examing SBBSecho closer, I do see that if        RS> a sysop placed CP437 chars in their origin line,              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...               RS> they'd always be included as-is without any translation. I'll fix        RS> that.              Great!                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Nieuw Schnøørd (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 16/0 19/37 105/81 106/201 123/130 128/187 142/104 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/317 426 428 470 700 705 240/2411 5824 5832 5853 5854       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5555 291/111 292/789 301/1 310/31 320/119 219 319       SEEN-BY: 320/2119 322/762 341/66 460/58 902/26 5019/40 5020/1042 5075/35       PATH: 280/5555 240/5832 320/219 229/426           |
