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
