Hi,
It looks like codepage 437 isn't quite the same as it was in MS-DOS back then.
I live in Belgium and there we have an AZERTY keyboard with the keys é (ASCII 233), è (ASCII 232), §çàùµ£€ etc. These are not displayed correctly.
I live in a region where these French characters are not really necessary, but the idea that it is not correct bothers me.
I've been messing around with the _MAPUNICODE unicode_code& TO ascii_code& statement but this didn't help.
The codes below (from the wiki page) are therefore probably not correct
'Microsoft_pc_cp437
199,252,233,226,228,224,229,231,234,235,232,239,238,236,196,197
201,230,198,244,246,242,251,249,255,214,220,162,163,165,8359,402
225,237,243,250,241,209,170,186,191,8976,172,189,188,161,171,187
9617,9618,9619,9474,9508,9569,9570,9558,9557,9571,9553,9559,9565,9564,9563,9488
9492,9524,9516,9500,9472,9532,9566,9567,9562,9556,9577,9574,9568,9552,9580,9575
9576,9572,9573,9561,9560,9554,9555,9579,9578,9496,9484,9608,9604,9612,9616,9600
945,223,915,960,931,963,181,964,934,920,937,948,8734,966,949,8745
8801,177,8805,8804,8992,8993,247,8776,176,8729,183,8730,8319,178,9632,160
It works fine with another old program in DOSBOX.
Anyone have any ideas?
