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

See FTS-5003, 4. Known character set identifiers

In Spanish echos you can find messages in CP437, LATIN-1, CP850 and UTF-8.
I think that Brazilian/Portuguese also use CP850 a lot.

GoldEd+ in Windows uses CP850 by default (though you can configure it to convert to/from other encodings)

This message is in CP850. Here's an example:
¨Qu‚ cige¤a vol˘ aŁn m s ahĄ?
