PB 6.10 b1 - OpenPreference()

[AZJIO]

File functions support required encodings (#PB_Ascii, #PB_UTF8 and #PB_Unicode).

#PB_Ascii in Linux does not use Russian, there is something like 1252 or some ISO-8859

When I tried to write a program to search and replace text in Linux, I encountered the problem that it was impossible to perform text replacement in ANSI Windows-1251 files, since the algorithm does not see Russian texts in it.

#PB_Ascii in Linux

This topic was created in the Windows section. Then move it to another section.
Windows is localized for each language and the text in ascii is displayed correctly.
Linux does not have localization for languages.

In PB 6.10 beta 4, in the function description OpenPreferences(), it is written

Encoding (optional)

To force a string encoding when reading the preference file. If an UTF-8 BOM is found in at the start of the file, this parameter is ignored and UTF-8 will be used. It can be one of the following value:

#PB_UTF8
#PB_Ascii

But using #PB_Ascii text in Ascii encoding is not readable.
Then what is option #PB_Ascii?
