So, and if I understand everything correctly, if my locale is latin1, my terminal is latin1 (that is, enc=latin1 and tenc=latin1) and I want to edit/view utf8 files *and* I don't want new files or US-ASCII files to be considered utf8, my best bet is to use "BufReadPre" to detect utf8 files using "file -i" or something similar, thus forcing the conversion, am I wrong?
I'm not sure: what happens if your UTF-8 file contains some character (such as the Euro sign) which has no representation in Latin1?
I assume that when "BufReadPos" is invoked, any conversion has already been carried, am I wrong?
IIUC, you aren't.
Well, all of the above is easy to test, so if I can afford the time later, I'll do and post here my results. Thanks, Tony :) Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado
