In the testing that I did at the time, all I found
was close compliance with 8859-1.

The original version of BitPim was not Unicode.
Roughly speaking, the bytes that came in were the
bytes that went out.  However the user interface
also ran in its own codeset.  Consequently the
data would get mangled depending on where it came
from and/or where you editted it.  The advent of
switching to unicode fixed all that :-)
