Hi there,
Thanks Elliott, i think i'll try that.
Yes, the codes wrap around but you cant even enter the higher codes
under my Win XP in WinExplorer. I was hoping to be able to use
the keyboard, but gee i guess the master's at MS didnt think of
that. What good is a file system that supports unicode if the
user has no easy way to enter the characters? hee hee.
I found it interesting that Eu's dir() function did not work
with unicode characters. I guess i could start using Greg's
win_dir.ew exclusively.
I was also hoping to write a short C program to do the dirs too.
Thanks again for the idea as i'll most likely use that for the
testing i want to do.
Hey, anybody make a unicode compatible keyboard?
Take care,
Al
