This is the common problem for all
non-english languages.
Windows and MSDOS has different codepages.
Windows - ANSI, MSDOS - 'extended' ASCII.
On Windows, Terminal font for Portuguese CP
must be the same as MSDOS Portuguese CP.
Notepad, Word and so on (Win based) use ANSI.
ED, Edit, QB, TB (all DOS based) use ASCII.
ROM BIOS - ASCII.
In Russian, for example, there are more
than 5 *different* codepages --
DOS, Win, Mac. ISO, KOI8-r(Linux),
KOI7- for old Russian PC, and more ...
And we use recoding programs to convert
simple text from Notepad to ED and
from ED to Notepad -- impossible to read
Russian comments at all.
