FWIW, in Europe it is common to use codepage 850.  The Internet
standard is ISO8859-1 (== CP819).  Both of these contain lots of
accented characters, suitable for most European languages.

BTW, if you are using CP437 and relying on its box-drawing chars,
you will lose these in a move to CP850/ISO8859-1.
