Is there any way to read a codepage 437 encoded file with pharo?

This could be done with ZnByteEncoder, but that encoding is not provided by default. So you need to generate a new mapping method, luckily this can be done automagically: ZnByteEncoder generateByteToUnicodeSpec: 'http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/CP437.TXT'. Put it on the class side and plug it in #mappingToIdentifiers and #initialize again. I guess you maybe could provide a one-shot instance, but I have never done that and adding it as known encoding will be easier at first. I am sure you will figure it out ;-) Let me know how it goes, maybe it would be a good idea to allow one-shot encoder instances based just on a spec from unicode.org Sven
