encoding to ANSI

the source file is in ANSI, but the processed file gets written in UTF-8, I tried using Encoding.Default but it stays in UTF-8 and Encoding.GetEncoding(1252) does not really seem to work for me, how do I make final file be in ANSI Encoding? everything else works as I expect.

Curious, why do you want ANSI in particular @just alex?

There's little reason to use anything besides UTF-8 these days.

I am using halo toolkit mod tools and the tag editor only read ANSI since the dev version is from 2007
