//Hello Carlos,//

on *18.01.22* at *8:54:33* You wrote in rea *WINPOINT*
to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"CP850"*.

 CN>>> It would be nice if CP850 was also supported.
 TS>> Isn't that just Latin-1 ?

 CN> - LATIN-1 in Fido is ISO 8859-1
 CN> - CP850 is Code page 850 (also known as DOS Latin 1)
 CN>   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850

As it turned out, I was back in the days thinking that CP850 equals ISO 8859-1
which causes existing WP-versions to handle CP850 as Latin-1 internally. Seems
to work now  correctly(starting with Version 394). 

Regards,
Tim
