I wouldn't recommend to do so! You can easily open such a file in =20 some MS Windows encoding, enter a SPC, save in some ISO Latin, and =20 remove the SPC (I think one change is needed to make GNU Emacs save a =20= file, because: what's the sense in saving a safe file?). Don't forget =20= to save again ... If you have more of such files you can use recode or iconv to convert =20= them to some ISO Latin. Or: you can use Samba to present all MS =20 Windows files in ISO Latin ...
