HG>Hi Daryl,

Hi, Holger,

HG>I haven't checked how the Notepad works in Win10 but in XP it faithfully
HG>read PC8 (ASCII) characters, while Word or any other Windows editor did
HG>not show, for example the european accented letters correctly.

  I'm sticking with Windows 7, 32-bit. I can't see throwing out
perfectly good working hardware and software, just to satisfy
Microsoft's bottom line.

HG>As you are using OLX you see these characters , , ,  correctly
HG>as I have entered them on the keyboard.

  Looks like to sets of strange A's, a set of strange O's, and a set of
strange U's -- "strange" in this case for high ascii characters.

HG>I can (could) read/print out a file containing those letters corectly in
HG>the old Notepad.

  Andy Stewart, who did the DreamNet doors years ago, did a utility
that would show all the high ascii characters. However, as with all his
doors, you have to run the TP7P5FIX TSR, or it won't run on a CPU faster
than 233 Mhz. Plus, the doors don't have a fossil driver...but, under
Synchronet (which I have), they are set up and run like they did have a
fossil.
