>  Following are the IBM code pages and character sets for the ISO 8859-xx
>  standards.  The IBM EBCDIC & PC equivalent code pages are also shown,
>  where the character set is contained but the hex assignments may be
>  different than the ISO standard.
> 
>  The IBM ISO Code Pages are identical to the corresponding ISO
>  standards for the graphic character to hex assignments -- the control
>  characters are NOT part of the code page definitions much like they
>  are NOT part of ISO 8859-xx standards either.  They are defaulted to
>  C0 and C1 sets of ISO 6429 if there are no other C0 and/or C1 sets
>  used by the application along with these.

P.S.: Also special thanks to Erik Naggum and Mr. Umamaheswaran, IBM.

Remarks from the editor (Kosta Kostis):

	(1) should be Codepage 866 now
	(2) may be Codepage 864 now
