> The sources files of the Applix* import filters had been stored in iso8859-15. In the methods to convert characters from Applix-style encoding to a QChar the mapping was done by assigning respective `char`s to a QChar, with the `char`s mostly being in the upper half of the iso8859-15 table.

Compiles at leas here :) And my sample aw files still are imported with same quality as before. Just, they all seem to lack any non-latin1 characters, so I cannot test how the filters changed to . Experimented with manual editing of the raw aw files, but not sure if I fooled myself, so would prefer real files.
