More ANSI and RTF conversion



Dear Carl

Now I have ANSI1252.ZIP I have been able to apply Robert's fixes to the ghostscript a4 printer from vdosplus and the result is impeccable. So far as I can see everything comes out as it should. This would appear to provide a complete CP1252 compliant version of XY4 based on the ability of vdosplus to operate in CP1252 and the hacked XY4 files that I made a couple of years ago.

The only slight niggle now is translating to a windows format such as RTF when there is XY4 formatting to deal with too. I have been exploring the XYWWWEB.U2 RTF conversion routine. So far as I can tell it is limited to a subset of the 437 code page (up to about 187, I think). I am guessing here, but I assume this is based on the old filters that shipped with XY4. It would be nice to find a complete CP1252 conversion but I imagine that is impossible -- or at least it will cost money. Was there ever a 850 code page version?

Best wishes

Paul
