if I’m allowed - the problem is that these “ansi code pages” do treat the underlying
data (numbers) the same. Means, each code page assigns always a 8bit value to a glyph.
So there is no way for npp to findout if the value it reads, e.g. 0xFC (252),
should be treaten as ü (CP1252) or as exponent three (CP850).
I guess it could be said that the different “ansi code pages” are just a different view
to the same underlying data and as long as there is no info in the file itself which
encoding/code page has been used, to create the file, you have to know it
or in npps view, it tries to guess it.
Makes this sense to you?
