Hi Alain / Hi all,

I have just confirmed a suspicion I had.
Several Windows' CP125x codepages resemble very much ISO-8859-x codepages.
I'll mention here the ISO codepages already present on the Full Codepage
Pack:

cp912 (ISO-8859-2, Latin-2) = Windows' cp1250, from codepoint 0xC0 ~ 0xFF.
cp815 (ISO-8859-5, Cyrillic) and Windows' cp1251... Unfortunately don't
match.
cp819 (ISO-8859-1, Latin-1) = Windows' cp1252, from codepoint 0xA0 ~ 0xFF.
cp813 (ISO-8859-7, Greek) = Windows' cp1253, from codepoint 0xB7 ~ 0xFF.
cp920 (ISO-8859-9, Latin-5) = Windows' cp1254, from codepoint 0xA0 ~ 0xFF.
cp916 (ISO-8859-8, Hebrew) = Windows' cp1255, from codepoint 0xE0 ~ 0xFA.

Two ISO codepages haven't been released yet: cp1089 (ISO-8859-6, Arabic,
equivalent in many codepoints to Windows' cp1256) and cp921 (ISO-8859-13,
Latin-7, equivalent to Windows' cp1257 from codepoint 0xA0 ~ 0xFF, with only
three different codepoints along the way, because they're blank on cp1257).

The Windows vietnamese codepage (cp1258) has no ISO-8859-x equivalent,
AFAIK.

Alain, as you can see, neither of the codepages above match 100%;
nevertheless, they match precisely in the range they need to: the letters.
So, if you type something in portuguese on Windows' Notepad and save that,
you'll be able to read it in FreeDOS. ;-)

Cheers,
Henrique
