Hi Mark,

 EV> I looked for OH0NC at QRZ and a window appeared asking if I wanted to

That character is used, to my knowledge only in danish, exists in cp850
as char dec 157. The closest you get in cp437 is dec 237 (í), which
isn't what you are looking for.

In my conversion table from Latin-1 to PC8, I replace it with 0 (zero),
although in danish text it replaces the letters ™ and ” as used in other
european countries.

There's another danish speciality, the letter combination ’ and ‘, that
the conversion program I've made, converts to Ž and „, that are the
replacements in other european languages.


Have a nice day,

Holger
