CP850 is the default DOS codepage (at least on Samba3) and is the codepage in use on most DOS installations. Usage from older Windows versions and DOS with special characters becomes rather limited for most people without CP850. I guess you could live with ASCII if you're not going to use older clients.

(This is all AFAIK, I'm not much of an expert on encoding/charset
issues, please correct me if I'm wrong)

Cheers,

Jelmer
