Hi Mark,

 HG> Then it's really odd why you can't see the umlaut letters because

ml>they may be being translated by the BBS software on the system he is

Yes, my suspicion has also tyrned that way.

ml>... or it is possible that his reader is operating in
ml>native windows mode (iso-8859-1) and the font that he has chosen
ml>simply does not contain anything in that character's slot...

Well, anyway he wrote that he had checked the CP his reader/editor was
CP 437, but maybe the font is the culprit. OTOH, you don't have so much
choice of fonts in a DOS application. AFAIK there's no CP 437 in Windows

ml>more information is needed to figure it out but it may not really
ml>matter, either...

It's up to Ed if he wants to see those umlaut and special characters.


Have a nice day,

Holger
