Thank you VERY much!              you are welcome :) TBH, i didn't know eCS was set to CP850 as the default       until after i finally for a good installation and i was trying to read       messages using the box drawing characters in one of the echos... as soon as i       saw it, i knew what the problem was... anyway, i had some other things that i       also wanted to change/add to my eCS install and i couldn't find how to do it       on an already installed system (adding firebird was one, removing the included       4OS2 was another since i have my own) but i knew i could do them during the       install so i wiped that OS drive and reinstalled again... i think i probably       went thru 15 or 20 install attempts due to various problems and troubles...       anyway, at some point, i saw that option and made sure i flipped it on each       install afterward ;)              )\/(ark               * Origin: (1:3634/12)    |
