 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.
