Microsoft acknowledges that none of this "ANSI code page" stuff is really ANSI, and that "ANSI Latin-1" is not really Latin-1, but the labels are too entrenched to do anything about. I was only objecting (and it really was a minor nitpick, as I said) to Charles's use of the unadorned "Latin-1" for CP 1252, when that term should ideally be reserved for ISO 8859-1/CP 28591. --=20 Mark J.
