The problem is some old software simply does not have a suitable replacement. What ain't broke don't need fixin, which is the DOS software I use constantly, and certainly more than any other software. It works wonderfully in eCS (Warp 4 progeny), poorly elsewhere, and is here the #1 criteria for choice of primary DTE. The OS/DTE installation I'm using here to write this (as well as run DOS software) is about 10 years old, living through about 4 generations of motherboard/system upgrades - without breaking. Whatever the charset availability was that decade ago was what it was, and couldn't and can't be helped short of a new installation of a newer version (which is now about 9 months old), a sleeping dog I'm not about to kick.
BUT, it *was* that "sleeping dog" that raised the point (would better have been a pint) about the <quote> I still have to figure out what you wrote, since here are displayed non-US-ASCII characters amongst relevant parts of what you wrote. </quote> and now complains that his dos/os/2 software WILL NOT be changed as it was good enough then and is good enough now. If you are not interested in correcting *your* software to properly display properly formatted text, why did you raise the point, for the sake of argument? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
