To me it looks like we'd need to do three things:

1) Fix the internal CP in current ESWIN and ESWINM files.
   (I'll do this ASAP)
2) Rename Clipper compatibility ESWIN, ESISO, ES850 files
   to ESWINC, ESISOC, ES850C and add comment that these
   are 'legacy' or Clipper compatibility ones (someone
   should test which is true). Rename ESWINM and ESISOM
   to ESWIN, ESISO.
3) Add ES850 according to the 'modern' collation.
+1) Think about a way to 'map' old ESMWIN name to new ESWIN.


Ok, but for blackguard compatibilities will be needed alias ESMWIN.

Plus information:

"Code page name" are to "Char Set" as you see some times are confused by the 
alias name, any people can think incorrectly
that iso-8859-1 is the same than windows-1252 but are real different Char Set

EXAMPLE:

Spanish (Modern Sort) | Western European (Windows)
Collation :      Modern_Spanish  (order for ESMWIN)
Code page:       1252
family code page:1252
Code page name:  Windows-1252
Aliases: ANSI_X3.4-1968, ANSI_X3.4-1986, ascii, cp367, cp819, csASCII, IBM367, ibm819, ISO_646.irv:1991, iso_8859-1,
                 iso_8859-1:1987, ISO646-US, iso8859-1, iso-8859-1, iso-ir-100, 
iso-ir-6, latin1, us, us-ascii, x-ansi
