But somehow it evolved to mean       ANY IBM PC codepage and so another kludge was introduced as an addendum. The       CODEPAGE kludge.        All that is deprecated. The correct wat to indicate the encoding is the CHRS       kludge.                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 5555       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 410/9 423/120       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250 5019/40 5020/1042 5053/58       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 280/5555 464 229/426           |
