      In a message on 02-19-19 Maurice Kinal said to Holger Granholm:              Hej Maurice.               HG> didn't agree with the chr.codes I had              MK> That is because it cannot be mapped out to PC8. latin1 will work       MK> and will be mapped out to 0xf8 (dec 248 if you prefer).              MK> Near as I can figure dec 148 in PC8 would be the "LATIN SMALL LETTER       MK> O WITH DIAERESIS" which in latin1 is dec 246 or the ö character in       MK> utf8.              The expression 'diaeresis' doesn't exist in my vocabulary or dictionary.       However, if diaeresis is the same as the 'divide' sign on the numeric       keyboard I agree. That comes out as the Umlaut 'o' in when translated       from Latin 1.               HG> and the slashed capital O is to be found among the graphical chrs        HG> of PC8 as code 216.               In Latin 1 it's represented by chr code D8 or dec.216 which happens to       be the same as in CP 437.              This chr is often used as a replacement for zero.              MK> I'll have to take your word for that since I have never found a map       MK> for PC8. I have seen speculation that it is the same as CP437.       MK> Is it?              In that case I would recommend that you try to aquire the booklet       "IBM OS/2 Warp 4" "Keyboards and Code Pages" published in 1996 by IBM       with the Order No. 29H3183.              It contains a heap of keyboard layouts and Code Pages for Publishing,       EBCDIC, APL2 and of course Text. It's indispensable when figuring out       various keyboards and code pages.              MK> '...' En Møøse hade en gång min syster ...       What is this .................^^ in Latin 1?                     Ha en bra dag,              Holger                     .. My spelling? Oh, it's just line noise.       -- MR/2 2.30                            --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2        * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands. (2:20/228)    |
