 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |
Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : MMbasic v 5.070308 DOS won't print high order ASCII characters.

Very pretty (and fast), though you've got a couple of ? where the conversion isn't handling the junctions of double and single line box drawing characters - they aren't present in Code page 852 though they are in MMSCII. I think you need to try translating to Code page 437 perhaps using iconv on Linux. Best wishes, Tom MMBasic for Linux, Game*Mite, CMM2 Welcome Tape, Creaky old text adventures |

> Code page 437 Thanks, Tom. I hadn't noticed those. Will fix. But 437 rang a bell, and searching through my notes (every day for the past 13 years and 6 months), I find that on February 25, 2019, I used the text editor, Editpad, to convert from UTF-8 to CP437 ("with Editpad, convert, text encoding, encode UTF-8 to CP437"). I thought the problem sounded familiar.  Edited 2022-06-22 22:36 by lizby PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |
