OK, so for code page 850, if you can redirect robocopy output to a
file, Vim (with +iconv, or with +iconv/dyn and the iconv or libiconv
library where Vim can find it. I tried to find a relevant help tag,
but ":helpgrep iconv" delivered so many useful items (including, no
doubt, some that you won't need today) that I thought it would be
better for you to browse them (first, map :cnext<CR> to some F key if
you haven't yet done it, then run ":helpgrep iconv", and then
repeatedly press the {rhs} of the mapping to see, one after another,
all the places in the help where that word is mentioned).

...er, I was saying, to open a file in code page 850, use ":view
++enc=cp850 filename.ext" or ":e ++enc=cp850 filename.ext" as I
originally said (at the time, I was _guessing_ that it could be code
page 850, which happens to be the International code page for MS/DOS).


Best regards,
Tony.
