   Hello Roy,   
      
   On 02 Dec 12 at 13:06, you wrote to me:   
      
    NB>>>> BTW, here's the first reply using Michiel's care package.   
    NB>>>> Though while I was adding everything, I realized I don't use   
    NB>>>> CP850 as my local charset here like you do. Here's hoping..   
      
    RW>>> So, rather than keep everyone else in the dark, what's the care   
    RW>>> package about?   
      
    NB>> I didn't know anyone else was interested. :)   
      
    RW> Always interested in configuring GoldEd...note that the version I'm   
    RW> using is also plagued with the 437 character page.   
      
    RW> I've been playing with CHRS, but there doesn't seem to be any   
    RW> 'readable' doc files that address this.   
      
   Welp, it looks like that care package didn't work for me as CP850 isn't used   
   here, but I think I may have gained some ground by seeing that anyway.   
      
   Give this a try (and obviously your slashes would be reversed):   
      
   xlatpath /path/to/CHSfiles   
   xlatimport LATIN-1   
   xlatexport LATIN-1   
   xlatcharset IBMPC LATIN-1 ibm_iso.chs   
   xlatcharset LATIN-1 IBMPC iso_ibm.chs   
   xlatlocalset LATIN-1   
      
   I've just seen two dots over an 'o' before replying to this message, rather   
   than a high ascii block or an 'oe' or anything that I used to see. So   
   hopefully I'm getting somewhere. :)   
      
    NB>> It's basically some .CHS files with an xlat.cfg that seems to   
    NB>> work on Paul's system for interpreting the special European   
    NB>> characters used once in awhile. Doesn't seem to be working here   
    NB>> at the moment, but then again, I'm not very advanced at charsets   
    NB>> and font setup. Something to play around with, anyways.   
      
    RW> Hmmm. May have to get Michiel's help on it then.   
      
   I haven't seen him say much in awhile. He mentioned something in the IPV6 echo   
   recently about being super busy though, I remember that. There's probably a   
   handful of people that actually understand all of the Golded configuration,   
   and he would definitely one of them. :)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
