Hey August!

The foreign language *is* english, albiet an obsolete incarnation of english (Anglo-Saxon).  The characters are utf-8 which are 16-bit.  They will successfully convert into latin1 (8-bit) but not cp437 seeing that cp437 is an extremly limited character set when it comes to latin based languages.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
