How do you use codepage 819, equivalent to ISO-8859-1, if such a codepage
doesn't exist? I couldn't find such a codepage for DR-DOS 7.03 or MS-DOS 5.
I'll have to check OS/2 Warp 4 when I am in that OS. But OS/2 basically uses
the same codepages as DOS. What is the function of characters 128 to 159
(decimal) in ISO-8859-1? What about character 127 which looks like a little
house in DOS and OS/2?
DOS modem programs like TELIX, PROCOMM PLUS and TELEMATE are intended for
connecting to a BBS, not the Internet. Some BBSes use upper ASCII box
characters for that purpose, so they depend on the DOS and OS/2 standard.
Minicom for Linux also shows these boxes correctly if started with l parameter,
otherwise upper ASCII characters are f___ed up and not compatible with anything,
including ISO-8859-1.
