The system I tested it was a Linux Machine ;-) so it might be true that
there is a difference.
To check it on a Windows (XP) machine I have to wait until the evening.
But what I found in the IDL reference might help:
They say they use the character encoding name according to this
http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets document.
So it might be a different wrighting and you could check with some of
these possibilities I found there:
Name: ISO_8859-1:1987 [RFC1345,KXS2]
MIBenum: 4
Source: ECMA registry
Alias: iso-ir-100
Alias: ISO_8859-1
Alias: ISO-8859-1 (preferred MIME name)
Alias: latin1
Alias: l1
Alias: IBM819
Alias: CP819
Alias: csISOLatin1
If something of it works tell me please. Otherwise I'll check it today in the
evening on my windows machine.
