    TS> Isn't that just Latin-1 ?   
      
   - LATIN-1 in Fido is ISO 8859-1   
   - CP850 is Code page 850 (also known as DOS Latin 1)   
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850   
      
   See FTS-5003, 4. Known character set identifiers   
   http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5003.001   
      
   In Spanish echos you can find messages in CP437, LATIN-1, CP850 and UTF-8.   
   I think that Brazilian/Portuguese also use CP850 a lot.   
      
   GoldEd+ in Windows uses CP850 by default (though you can configure it to   
   convert to/from other encodings)   
      
   This message is in CP850. Here's an example:
