   In a message on Saturday 05-27-16 Paul Quinn said to All:   
      
   Good evening Paul,   
      
   PQ> I had a win the other day, with Windows 8.1.  It all started a   
   PQ> couple of years ago, with a .MP4 movie.   
      
   Yeah, I know the feeling. Nothing else tastes as sweet as victory!   
      
   I had the same feeling last night, after having had a fight with the   
   editor, that I use to edit the scandinavian bulletins/newsletters.   
      
   A modification of the WIN/DOS translating part has long been overdue.   
   Last night I felt like doing some programming, so I attacked the code.   
      
   Testing the conversion on the swedish weekly bulletin was succesful, but   
   needed one final quirk to be changed. That too was successfully managed.   
      
   The translation is necessary to convert the umlaut characters, found in   
   the scandinavian, and other european languages, from Latin1 to PC8,   
   because PC8 is the neutral language used in my BBS, for bulletins etc.   
      
      
   Have a good nite,   
      
   Holger
