This is a codec for hp-roman generated by munging data 
from dkuug.dk and running gencodec.py on it.

I think the copyright is a bit inaccurate :-)

Also, does this do the right thing with unassigned bytes?  I didn't 
think (eg) 0x80 represented a valid character in roman8, could be 
wrong.

Otherwise, looks ok to me...

Richard, could you pleaes remove the copyright notices from
the file
and instead add a reference and/or explanation of where and how
you obtained the data used in the codec.

I'll fix the gencodec.py and remove the copyright notices. I
used
that script to build the initial set of codecs as part of
the CNRI
contracted work -- while the script is (c) CNRI, the output
certainly
isn't anymore.

One more thing: please also provide a list of common aliases
for this codec. Thanks.

Reference updated; renamed to hp_roman8.py 
 
Aliases: roman8 r8 csHPRoman8 
 
I hesitated with suggesting roman8 as too generic but if it's 
good enough for IANA... 
 
Michael: as far as I can tell, the only problematic ones are the 
high control characters. Whether 0x80 really corresponds to 
PAD or is unused is getting a bit esoteric for me.

Looks good. I'll add the codec tomorrow.

Thanks !
