In a message on 03-24-18 Ed Vance said to Daryl Stout:
Hi Ed,
EV>When I type Alt 219 here, I see # a Solid Block Character.
EV>When I type Alt 176 here, I see # a Dotted Block Character.
EV> I opened Notepad and tried entering a Alt Number and saw nothing
EV> show up on the screen as You said it would.
Of course not, because the character table in Windows is completely
different. The codes are 4-digit and not the same as in high-ASCII.
You can find the Windows character code table in many Windows manuals.
I recall that at least an old Word manual has the table. Probably some
other manuals too.
EV> I quit using SLMR when I learned that MM showed ALL of the lines in
EV> long BBS messages.
EV> Does OLX end messages as SLMR does?
I have used all of the ones mentioned above and many more.
EV> Didn't both Programs come from the same Company.
I don't think they did but I may be wrong.
EV> Otherwise I'm happy using MM, I occasionally use MM WIN when I want
EV> to C&P some text into a message that I'm writing.
I have MM for OS/2 as a reserve QWK-program and IF I put some of my
Windows laptops to read/write Fido QWK packets, I'll install MMWin in it
EV> I've tried the Sempoint reader for awhile, but went back to using MM
EV> (and SLMR occasionally) to read messages in .QWK packets.
That's one I have never tried because it came out so late that I had
already done my choice for DOS and moved over to OS/2.
EV> ... Death, Taxes, MS upgrades.
