Hi Michiel,

On 2014-04-16 22:14:59, you wrote to me:

I have that too. But it's slightly different, mainly in the comments for the characters.

 MvdV>>> Add it to Golded.cfg

 MvdV>>> With control J, select translation from 850 to 850

 MvdV> You have no character translation at all installed?

I have set yesterday:

XLATPATH c:\fd\Golded\cfgs\charset\
XLATCHARSET CP850       CP850       850_850.CHS

Before that I got another message with ctrl-j, which said I had no configuration for translation (or words along that line)...

 MvdV>>> Open a new command line window

 MvdV>>> Select code page 65001

 MvdV>>> Type <file>

 WV>> I skipped this, so not to have to find out how to set the code page.
 WV>> ;)

 MvdV> CHCP 65001

 MvdV> Be aware that many things no longer work with this setting.

Maybe... For me it's a _very_ vague memory... ;)

 MvdV>>> Or open the file in Notepad.

 WV>> I used notepad++, and it looks perfectly ok in there...

 MvdV> You can install it as external editor for Golded by adding this to the

 MvdV> EDITOR NOTEPAD @file
 MvdV> EDITORFILE GOLDED.MSG

I don't want an external editor...

Bye, Wilfred.
