Thanks!

So -- there are some differences:

8bit 16bit 8859-1 8859-15
================================================== ====================
0xA4 0x00A4 # CURRENCY SIGN EURO SIGN

0xA8 0x00A8 # DIAERESIS LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON
0xB4 0x00B4 # ACUTE ACCENT LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON
0xB8 0x00B8 # CEDILLA LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON

0xBD 0x00BD # VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE
0xBE 0x00BE # VULGAR FRACTION THREE QUARTERS LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS
0xD0 0x00D0 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER The (Icelandic) LATIN CAPITAL LETTER The
0xDE 0x00DE # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER THORN (Icelandic) LATIN CAPITAL LETTER THORN
0xDF 0x00DF # LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S (German) LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S
0xF0 0x00F0 # LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH (Icelandic) LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH
0xFE 0x00FE # LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN (Icelandic) LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN

Aside from everything from 0x81 through 0x9F being defined as
control characters, which is how they are handled on my system. But I
see postings from Windows boxen and from Macs which use characters in
that range for something or other.

Merry Christmas
