It is my understanding that although very similar, there are subtle
differences ( http://mail.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/2001-May/005509.html)
between iso8859-1 and Windows-1252, especially in the area of the C1
Control Code set ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252 ).

I have a file on a Windows 2003 server which I believe is using the 0x0096
EN-DASH character in the filename, and I am finding this file impossible to
read from a linux box using mount -t cifs -o iocharset=iso8859-1.  I don't
seem to be able to assign iocharset=cp1252 which is what I want.  It appears
to me that a cp1252 doesn't even exist (
http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/nls/?v=2.6.18 ).  Is there some reason for
this?  Am I completely mistaken in all of this, and there is really some
other silly reason I cannot read the file?
