HG>Hi Daryl,
Hi, Holger,

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 Åå, Ää, Öö, Üü 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.
