Unfortunately, recode does not appear to support these codepages...

I could put a workaround in tn5250 for those.... if one of those 114x
codepages is selected, it would make a copy of the pre-euro version, and
just change the one code position...
But, what about the Unix side of things? Anyone know what the appropriate
