m1ndsurfer mentioned that some file_id.diz file descriptions for Commodore 64 files have PETSCII characters in them, which naturally don't display properly if the user's terminal doesn't support PETSCII. It might be handy if there was a JavaScript function to convert PETSCII to ASCII/CP437. My file lister would probably be able to use such a function to convert PETSCII to ASCII/CP437 if the user's terminal doesn't support PETSCII (and a JS function like str_is_petscii(), similar to str_is_utf8() & others, could be useful too). It looks like the Synchronet C++ code might have internal functionality already? (petscii_to_ansibbs())
