This should be documented. How can this be done? A simple note in the additional information field? Or there is a special field for this? I guess it will be something like the text published on the page below. Also see below... >> Charset name: Amiga-1251 >> >> >> >> Charset aliases: Ami1251, Amiga1251, Ami-1251 Ok, I suppose we can forget them, but this are the names that were used for the past 10 or so years ;-) If you think we should drop them, no problem, we will drop them. PS: They were included only for historical reasons, just like Win1251, Win-1251, CP-1251... has, personally I hate confusion too. >> Published specification(s): >> >> 1) http://www.amiga.ultranet.ru/Amiga-1251.html Have you taken a look here, you can get more info there and actually it mostly answers the comments pointed out. >> ISO 10646 equivalency table: >> >> http://www.amiga.ultranet.ru/Amiga-1251_to_UNICODE.txt If I have to cut and paste this to the registration form, ok I will do it, I thought it was enough to point people to the table.
