Anybody up for writing a latin1tame program?
latin1tame exists, and is called 1252to7. And it sends ñ to n.
Not exactly. Windows codepage 1252 is NOT Latin-1 (iso-8859-1). Microsoft replaced the control characters from 128-159 with other characters. The correct Microsoft codepage for Latin-1 (iso-8859-1) is Windows-28591. In any event, there's an obvious need for such conversion to correctly handle certain characters in context rather than using a blind mapping. David
