Hey Benny!

 BP> please dont fix msged then

No problem.  Same with golded.  There was never a plan to fix either of them
since they are more DOS-think then the idea I went with vim and utf-8.  I can
even get 8-bit eharacter sets working using the proper, standardized character
sets without altering a thing ... other than some bash scripts that is.

 BP> in fidoterms latin-1 does exists

What is it then and why are some fido sysops using CP1252 while flying the
LATIN-1 flag.  This is assuming that LATIN-1 is indeed ISO-8859-1 which it
isn't.  According to IANA it is LATIN1.

 BP> in iconv it does not

That is because the glibc people decided to follow reality.  There is no
LATIN-1.  It simply doesn't exist.

 BP> i dont have references to why amiga did it, more or less maybe 
 BP> filesystem was build with latin-1 in mind

Or they just didn't do their homework and followed the DOS-think crowd while
they merrily skipped their way into obscurity.

If you have a keymap for Amiga's co-called LATIN-1 that will tell the tale. 
I've never had anything to do with anything Amiga ever, but I am willing to
guess it's really LATIN1 (ISO-8859-1).

 BP> feel free to not get an amiga emulator on linux

No worries.  If I do emulate anything it would be a Linux BBS based on
busybox, gcc-4 and friends.  It didn't have utf-8 working though.

Life is good,
Maurice
