Opening CP850 encoded (DOS) files
Submitted by Fredrik on Thursday, 5 April, 2007 - 06:39
I'm having trouble opening CP850 encoded (DOS) files...

This encoding is described in the jEdit user manual, so it should work, but no luck yet for me.

Manual: On Windows, various other encodings, referred to as code pages and identified by number, are used to store non-English text. The corresponding Java encoding name is windows- followed by the code page number, for example windows-850.

So I select Other in the encoding menu and enter windows-850, cp850, Cp850 or CP850, but whatever I try, I get an IO error: java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: Cp850.

Anything else I can try?
