Hi Maurice,

MK> How does this look to you?  I am testing a da_DK.utf8 MSG

As you might remember I have built into my editor conversion from-to
various character codes.

MK>        januar                 februar                 marts       
MK> ma ti on to fr lø sø   ma ti on to fr lø sø   ma ti on to fr lø

When I saw the above I got a bit confused because the character codes
for the lower case '”' didn't agree with the chr.codes I had.

However, after studying character code lists I found that there really
is a lowercase slashed o letter.

I didn't recall that and it is "hidden" among the mathematical symbols at
PC8 code 237 and the slashed capital O is to be found among the graphical
chrs of PC8 as code 216. This is often used as a replacement for zero.


Have a good night,

Holger
