Re: Modified CP 1252 character set

[Kari Eveli lexitec@xxxxxxxx]

Hi,

While this may be a quick fix for ansified French (that is, if you can
live without accented capital letters like ’), this does not work for
languages like German, Swedish or Finnish, which require capital ’'s and
’'s. It looks quite good, although the menus have ÿ and ú characters
(that could eventually be eliminated by putting a space glyph in their
place).


DOS XyWrite was designed with the ASCII character set in mind. I would
rather modify a subset of the ASCII character set beginning with ASCII
224 as in CP 854 (Spanish) to make alternative character sets.


ANSI to ASCII conversions are handled well via the clipboard. Using the
ansified option, you cannot use the clipboard for upper ASCII data
(ASCII data is pasted into an ANSI file). The ansified option is only
suitable for read and write disk operations of ANSI files.
