I mostly use codepage 437 (IBM extended ASCII) and upto now I found two
caracters that did not convert right:
root sign - code (alt) 251
degree - code (alt) 248 and some others will popup.
Accented European caracters are OK.
Maybe we have to live with that... maybe we can place other caractersets
into 'VIEW'. I just tried a .rtf file and that was nearly OK.
I had to strip off a two line header.
