| subject: | CP850 (I think) |
The more I tinker with CP437 UTF8, the more I realized, other Fidonet users may need/want such translation from the BBS. So, I started reading about CP850, and the description said 0x85 for example i (without the top dot) in one CP8?? code page is a different character all together - and this is how I could easily ask the user do you see: "said char" Y=CP850, N=CP855 (I think). As my vagueness suggests, I have no f'ing clue haha. So Ward, Bjorn, etc. what would be a good way to ask the user their code page, when they may not even know what a code page is? And... in CP850 can I still draw a single line box, or does that code page only support double line box? (would post a visual but this NNTP client does not like those characters). Thank you (anyone) for insight on CP UTF8 feedback! Ozz -- .. Ozz Nixon ... Author ExchangeBBS (suite) ....
