Hi Mark,
EV> I looked for OH0NC at QRZ and a window appeared asking if I wanted to
EV> Add that Call to their Database.
ml> it may not be an O (oh) or a 0 (zero)... my conversion of some
ml> LS_ARRL posts has one character, an O (oh) with a forward slash
ml> through it that has no ASCII or HIGH ASCII equivalent... i have no
ml> clue how to make such a character, either...
That character is used, to my knowledge only in danish, exists in cp850
as char dec 157. The closest you get in cp437 is dec 237 (í), which
isn't what you are looking for.
In my conversion table from Latin-1 to PC8, I replace it with 0 (zero),
although in danish text it replaces the letters ™ and ” as used in other
european countries.
There's another danish speciality, the letter combination ’ and ‘, that
the conversion program I've made, converts to Ž and „, that are the
replacements in other european languages.
Have a nice day,
Holger
