Then, when 'encoding' is set to "latin1" and Vim is build with EBCDIC defined, hopefully it will just work. Well, there are three possibilities: 1. It just works, we can leave EBCDIC as-is 2. It doesn't work and someone can fix it. 3. It doesn't work and we give up on EBCDIC. 4. Nobody notices EBCDIC is broken. OK, FOUR possibilities. Either way, I think we can greaduate FEAT_MBYTE now. Unless someone shouts, I'll probably do that tomorrow. -- "Oh, no! NOT the Spanish Inquisition!"
