http://www.campin.me.uk/Cerdanos/ is a mirror of a Geocities site of
Turkish art music scores, heavily edited to remove absolute URLs,
Javascript, CSS and Yahooisms.  I want it to work offline and on
the most basic browsers there are.  I've made it HTML 4.01 strict.

It's all in Turkish.  I've set up the META stuff the W3C suggests to
get the right encoding.  On my usual browser at home (iCab/MacOS 9.1)
it Just Works.  Looks exactly the same on the latest Firefox under
MacOS 10.3.9.

When I try it on the machine at work (Windows 2000 Professional with
some version of Internet Explorer) it comes up as nonsense since it
chooses US English text encoding.  If I change the default to "auto-
select" the text encoding, it picks a Central European one which makes
the page a different kind of nonsense.  It looks okay if I manually
select Turkish text encoding, but the point of the META tag was to
obviate that.

Is there some juju which will make IE/W2000 (and other Windows browsers)
do the right thing without also screwing up W3C compliance?

There are lots of missing files, some of the scores are mis-classified,
and the scans are mostly of poor quality.  I may be able to do something
about that, but meanwhile there's nothing else on this scale out there.
