Hi,
How to I convert a file that contains text in the DOS charset to
UTF-8. I need this to work under Linux and Windows.
The DOS charset characters used, are for box drawing and arrows. They
currently appear on my system (Linux) as follows:
ÄÄÄstatementÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ
I found the relevant character mapping tables at the Unicode website -
mapping from DOS codepage to unicode characters. The one I am
interested in is CP437 to Unicode.
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/
Is such mappings already implemented in Lazarus somewhere?
I added it to lcl/lconvencoding.pas.
This is also used by the IDE context menu.

Just a little correction. The comment of the function says:
function CP437ToUTF8(const s: string): string; // DOS central europe
According to the page
http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/goglobal/bb964655%28en-us%29.aspx it
should be: //DOS US
