Barry,

BM>I want to see to what ø this makes › to eveyone!

BM>(I want to see to what degree this makes sense to everyone!)

BM>Degree symbol is ALT_248.
BM>Cents symbol is ALT_155

BM>Using ALT_0248 and 0155 displays the same here.

BM>ALT_(0)176 is °.

  Saw it fine here with OLX (Offline Express). But, some programs (i.e.
MultiMail and Notepad for Windows) won't let you use the high ascii
characters.

  Andy Stewart, who did a bunch of doors years ago (they're now
freeware, but require a small TSR to make them run) also did a program
that will generate the list of high ascii characters, and how to create
them. That has been useful for me, when I create my ANSI bulletins.

  I first open up the MS-DOS Editor, and create an ASCII version. Then,
I change or add high ascii characters. Lastly, I add the ANSI color
codes. Not overly fancy, but it works.

Daryl
