Can anyone, maybe from within        JP>> germany, who is operating with IBMPC character set send me a mail        JP>> containing special characters? I would like to find out, if the        JP>> problem is on my side or the encoding is wrongly noted.               RM> Those people use wrong encoding.        RM> IBMPC does not inclide german umlauts.              I think so, yes, but IBMPC should default to CP437 and that contains Umlauts.              Thanks for your mails, I can now say, LATIN-1 goes fine, UTF-8 gets scrambled       in my GoldEd. So I have to take a closer look into that part.               RM> CU, Ricsi              Joachim                     --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5--b20170303        * Origin: ----> FidoPI (2:240/6309)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 227/114 229/101 426 452 1014 240/77 2100       SEEN-BY: 240/5138 5832 5853 6309 249/206 317 400 280/464 292/854 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 633/280 2432/390 2454/119       PATH: 240/6309 5832 229/426           |
