   HG>Hi Daryl,   
      
   Hi, Holger,   
      
   HG>I haven't checked how the Notepad works in Win10 but in XP it faithfully

     I'm sticking with Windows 7, 32-bit. I can't see throwing out   
   perfectly good working hardware and software, just to satisfy   
   Microsoft's bottom line.   
      
   HG>As you are using OLX you see these characters , , ,  correctly   
   HG>as I have entered them on the keyboard.   
      
     Looks like to sets of strange A's, a set of strange O's, and a set of   
   strange U's -- "strange" in this case for high ascii characters.   
      
   HG>I can (could) read/print out a file containing those letters corectly in   
   HG>the old Notepad.   
      
     Andy Stewart, who did the DreamNet doors years ago, did a utility   
   that would show all the high ascii characters. However, as with all his   
   doors, you have to run the TP7P5FIX TSR, or it won't run on a CPU faster   
   than 233 Mhz. Plus, the doors don't have a fossil driver...but, under   
   Synchronet (which I have), they are set up and run like they did have a   
   fossil.
