Good, looks much better now without all the #ifdefs. /me wonders whenever we should do the same with iconv. It's part of the POSIX.1-2001 specs, and we have 2016 now. Do we *really* need configure checks and #ifdefs for it? Also we could use iconv for the cp437-to-unicode mapping instead of having a hard-coded table for it. Given how close the freeze deadline is now I'm tempted to cherry-pick patches 0-3 and prepare a pull request ASAP. cheers, Gerd
