Little background: I'm writing a java FCP library as part of a larger
project to compete with Fuqid.

Question 1: What character encoding should I expect when translating
return messages from the FCP port?

Right now I'm using ISO-LATIN-1 and am simply ignoring the issue, but I
get the distinct feeling that would break if say NodeInfo.JavaVendor or
some such string happened to have extended characters in it.

Question 2: Can I assume a specific end of line sequence?

If so, that would simply things if I find myself needing to manually
decode the data from the message.  (There seems to be no safe way to use
InputStreamReader and switch back to raw use of the InputStream for
non-encoded data like the Data block of DataChunk messages)
