Hallo Richard!

 RM> Microsoft calls it "Code Page 850 MS-DOS Latin 1"

Given this is the LINUX echo and that the vast majority of linux systems are 
glibc based, then this should take precedence;

-={ grep "IBM850//" /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules }=-
alias	CP850//			IBM850//
alias	850//			IBM850//
alias	CSPC850MULTILINGUAL//	IBM850//
alias	OSF10020352//		IBM850//
module	IBM850//		INTERNAL		IBM850		1
module	INTERNAL		IBM850//		IBM850		1

Looks to me that IBM should be the goto guys as far as what CP850 should be 
called and the only hit I could come up with that might help settle the issue 
is;

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQ2R2_9.1.1/com.ibm.etools.cbl.win.doc/topics/rlinfcpg.htm

However I cannot access it since it requires javascript and I do not have a 
browser that supports javascript and I have no plans to ever have a browser 
with javascript capabilities.  For the record the Microsoft link you gave 
worked fine without javascript.  Also I have no plans to convert or ever use 
CP850 so it really doesn't matter what it is really called, or if it even 
matters in the grand scheme of things.  IBM can keep it.

Stinkin' IBM.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
