      HG>Hi Daryl,              Hi, Holger,              HG>I haven't checked how the Notepad works in Win10 but in XP it faithfully       HG>read PC8 (ASCII) characters, while Word or any other Windows editor did       HG>not show, for example the european accented letters correctly.               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.              Daryl, WX1DER              ===        OLX 1.53 A lawyer is someone who calls a 200 page document a brief       --- SBBSecho 3.03-Win32        * Origin: FIDONet: The Thunderbolt BBS - wx1der.dyndns.org (1:19/33)    |
