- Carefull there! I wouldn't consider either one (7-bit and IBM) to be
- "perfectly good". In SF7 you can't get C-code (for instance) to look
- properly and IBM (actually it's Codepage 437) is just a silly hack.
-
- ISO 8859-1 on the other hand is a good choice, if the BBS supports them
- that is. Something which by the way is lacking in much BBS-software.
