MvdV> LATIN-1 /IS/ supported by the software of those that use that MvdV> encoding.
According to the REAL encoding (ISO-8859-1) LATIN1 is the accepted alias. They don't mention LATIN-1 nor do the charmaps I deploy here as well as most of the servers on the internet. Where your software got that encoding is highly questionable given the reality of the situation.
MvdV> The character set that you refer to as ISO-8859-1 is in MvdV> widespread use
For sure. Also the accepted alias for it is indeed LATIN1 and *NOT* LATIN-1.
MvdV> ISO-646 /has/ been used in Fidonet messages.
Excellent. Here is what I've been able to decipher about fts-5003 and it's reported aliasing of the ISO 646 codes;
ASCII ISO 646-1 (US ASCII) ISO646-US DUTCH ISO 646 Dutch ????????? (lacking reference) FINNISH ISO 646-10 (Swedish/Finnish) Unsure guessing ISO646-FI FRENCH ISO 646 French ISO646-FR (also exists ISO646-FR1) CANADIAN ISO 646 Canadian ISO646-CA (also exists ISO646-CA2) GERMAN ISO 646 German ISO646-DE ITALIAN ISO 646 Italian ISO646-IT NORWEIG ISO 646 Norwegian ISO646-NO (also exists ISO646-NO2) PORTU ISO 646 Portuguese ISO646-PT (also exists ISO646-PT2) SPANISH ISO 646 Spanish ISO646-ES (also exists ISO646-ES2) SWEDISH ISO 646-10 (Swedish/Finnish) Unsure guessing ISO646-SE and/or ISO646-SE2 SWISS ISO 646 Swiss ????????? (lacking reference) UK ISO 646 UK ISO646-GB ISO-10 ISO 646-10 (Deprecated alias) (lacking reference)
I was unable to find ANY credible references to DUTCH and SWISS. The 'unsure' ones I din find references but wasn't sure if those were indeed what was intended by fts-5003's aliases for those entries. One thing I do know for sure is that CANADIAN is a tad misleading since both CA and CA2 were at one time both supported equally. I haven't run across and ISO 646 codes in decades now, nevermind Fidonet. However it wouldn't surprise me that there might exist old mainframes in some Canadian gov't building somewhere still using punchcards so anything is possible. I don't think any of them have nodenumbers though.
MvdV> Your ZC uses CHRS: LATIN-1 1
Nope. Last time I noticed it was "CHARSET: LATIN-1".
MvdV> It /is/ current practise wether you like that or not.
No it isn't. The majority is still using buggy abandonware that isn't even aware of CHARSET nevermind CHRS.
Life is good, Maurice
