Hi.

Afaik for windows you can use "windows-1258", "iso 8859-1" and "iso
8859-15", although if you are an english user and don't use special
characters, it doesn't really make a difference, because utf-8 also works as
a superset of ascii.

I would recommend that you get a decent utf-8 supporting editor for windows,
though (maybe kate for windows?).

I use a windows computer on some days of the week and my linux computer<br>
on other days. I zip up files and transfer them from machine to machine.<br>
<br>
WHen I open files on the linux machine with Kate using file &gt; open there<br>
is a box with a path name on the top of the dialog box... and another<br>

I think this means that I&#39;ve got options to account for the different<br>

What option in that little &quot;utf8 box&quot; (encoding box?) should I use?<br>
