Hey Benny!
please dont fix msged then
No problem. Same with golded. There was never a plan to fix either of them since they are more DOS-think then the idea I went with vim and utf-8. I can even get 8-bit eharacter sets working using the proper, standardized character sets without altering a thing ... other than some bash scripts that is.
in fidoterms latin-1 does exists
What is it then and why are some fido sysops using CP1252 while flying the LATIN-1 flag. This is assuming that LATIN-1 is indeed ISO-8859-1 which it isn't. According to IANA it is LATIN1.
in iconv it does not
That is because the glibc people decided to follow reality. There is no LATIN-1. It simply doesn't exist.
i dont have references to why amiga did it, more or less maybe
filesystem was build with latin-1 in mind
Or they just didn't do their homework and followed the DOS-think crowd while they merrily skipped their way into obscurity.
If you have a keymap for Amiga's co-called LATIN-1 that will tell the tale. I've never had anything to do with anything Amiga ever, but I am willing to guess it's really LATIN1 (ISO-8859-1).
feel free to not get an amiga emulator on linux
No worries. If I do emulate anything it would be a Linux BBS based on busybox, gcc-4 and friends. It didn't have utf-8 working though.
Life is good,
Maurice
