KvE> converts LATIN-1 to UTF-8 for proper presentation on the UTF-8 KvE> terminal
Personally I prefer to use 'iconv' which can work either way, such as: iconv -f utf8 -t latin1, for proper presentation to an iso-9959-1 terminal. However the original utf-8 message would be required to *only* contain characters that can be converted to iso-9959-1 characters which may or may not be the case. Also converting from cp437 to latin-1 may fail especially regarding the line drawing characters that the cp437 and similar codepages (eg cp866) *must* have for their crippled terminals.

He also wrote a document about the history of UTF-8 which is extremely debatable creditibility-wise but that is probably off topic here as well, not that it matters any. I seriously doubt he is up to standards. Have you ever seen any evidence to the contrary?
