Yes, exactly. Very important that ISO-8859-1 is an official
standard, while Windows-1252 is not. They are similar, but
not the same. I'd think we should encourage everyone to use
the ISO standards for best portability.
read MSDN please
I better like to get generic information from higher
level sources. I read MSDN when I'd like to know something
about the Windows API, MSVC, C#, you name it.
Windows-1252 is the standard used at windows
application.
Exactly, so it's not a standard by my definition.
In my terms "standard" means something standardized
by an official standardization organization, and the
standard being applied/applicable in a wide-range of
products from different vendors. Lacking this,
"Windows-1252" like above is nothing more than a convention
used by a specific product / company, Windows/Microsoft
in this case.
Harbour is multiplatform, so I suggest others to
endorse this kind of approach in context of this project.
[ For Windows-only projects (which this isn't), this
can be regarded as _the_ "standard" or "quasi-standard",
and above lamentation is academic. ]
[ BTW, this is one of the areas where Windows/MS did
a terrible disservice to the world by introducing / forcing
such hacked, proprietary "standards" on them. ]
ISO-8859-1 is the standard used at Linux and
html application,
but have a lot of synonyms on different Linux platform. I use it on
my php applications.
Being used by Linux and 'html applications' is a
consequence of being an official standard, as open
source vendors (but not just them) generally prefer
these over proprietary ones. It's by no means
a "Linux/html standard". It has been standardized
by ISO (as Organization), hence the name.
Brgds,
