Such as CP1252. For a discussion on this, visit the Kermit newgroup,
comp.protocols.kermit.misc, in Google News or other news archiver and search
for the thread "Some K95 Hints" (August 2005).
Btw, I find it ironic that Google penalizes news posters who follow news
etiquette and break lines themselves to fit the regular 80-column width.
Look at almost any news article from the Kermit newsgroup to see what I
mean.
