Subj : fts-5003.001 compatible conversion thingy To : Benny Pedersen From : Maurice Kinal Date : Wed Oct 24 2018 00:44:02 Hallo Benny! BP> how should it look like in latin-1 ? The output on latin1 will look like garbage since the special characters are Cyrillic. As for latin-1 your guess is as good as mine as to what it *really* is but if you believe the FTSC people then it is iso-8859-1 which of course is wrong. iso-8859-1 is latin1 as well as a few other aliases, none of which is latin-1. DOS-think in Dansk should be DOS-tænke ... or is it? As for what it looks like in latin1 try converting this reply to latin1 and you will know. As for the Russian DOS-think it cannot be converted to latin1 but looks fine in both utf8 and cp866, as well as a few others which aren't supported in fidonet. Het leven is goed, Maurice ....
