   In a message on 03-05-19 Maurice Kinal said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Hi Maurice,   
      
   Right after I had posted the previous reply I edited a bulletin that   
   included a letter that had to be translated from UTF to CP437 = PC8.   
      
   I knew that this letter should be the capital angstrom so I entered that   
   'unknown' chr as 197 to be translated to . Worked perfectly.   
      
    HG> God natt min vän   
      
   On the above line I knew of course that that coded character should be   
   'a' with two dots on to. To convert it I entered 195 184 to translate it
