Hi All,

I noticed a message in German with '@CHRS: LATIN-1 2' that wasn't displaying 
correctly, while the CP850 I use has all the characters needed to display the 
German characters.

It turned out the XLATCHARSETALIAS lines in the provided charsets.cfg aren't 
complete. But if the XLATCHARSETALIAS lines from the advanced.cfg are included 
in my own config, the German messages displayed alright!

Here they are:

// This defines charset aliases for import tables.
//XLATCHARSETALIAS "charset" "alias1" "alias2"...
;XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO-11 ISO-8859-11 ISO8859-11
// Common invalid configurations and different charsets names
XLATCHARSETALIAS CP437 IBMPC
XLATCHARSETALIAS CP866 CP-866 +7FIDO +7_FIDO FIDO7 FIDO_7 RUS
XLATCHARSETALIAS KOI8-R KOI8R KOI KOI8 GOST CP20866
XLATCHARSETALIAS KOI8-U KOI8U KOU KOI-U CP21866
XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO8859-1 ISO-8859-1 ISO_8859-1 CP28591 ISO-1 LATIN-1 ISO
XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO8859-5 ISO-8859-5 ISO_8859-5 CP28595 ISO-5
XLATCHARSETALIAS CP1251 CP-1251 WIN WIN-1251 WINDOWS-1251
XLATCHARSETALIAS CP1125 UKR
XLATCHARSETALIAS CP10007 MAC-CYRILLIC MAC-RUSSIAN
XLATCHARSETALIAS CP10017 MAC-UKRAINIAN MAC-UKRAINE


Bye, Wilfred.
