  • Latin-1

    From Chris Jacobs@1:103/705 to All on Sat Nov 16 06:28:48 2024
    MultiMail claims to support two charsets: the IBM PC set (Code Page 437), and Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1).
    I am pretty sure the Latin-1 in MultiMail is not ISO 8859-1

    I dont know MultiMail.
    But Latin-1 _is_ ISO-8859-1.

    I'm curious, what differences did you notice?

    CP 850 is also Latin-1, yet ISO-8859-1 is not CP 850.
    Same chars but in a different order.

    I was mistaken.
    I confused the console charset with the charset the post was in.

    CP 850 is also Latin-1,

    No it is not.
    CP 850 is DOS Latin-1
    which is NOT the same as Latin-1
    ISO-8859-1 is identical to Latin-1.
    CP 850 is NOT.

    yet ISO-8859-1 is not CP 850.

    Correct, because CP 850 is DOS Latin-1.
    Which is != Latin-1
