John Cowan had problems posting, but he has an importan note, so here it is: "It is very important for Western European and American Windows users to set the local conversion mode to CP-1252, not ISO 8859-1.  Using 8859-1 means that the Windows characters at 0x80-0x9F (curly quotes, s-hacek, ellipsis, etc.) get converted to U+0080 to U+009F, which are valid but useless.  Using CP-1252 gets them converted to Unicode correctly."
