Thanks, Martin. I don't know why my answer did not reach you. Maybe Topica?
Or perhaps my server (tutopia.com)?
Well, the problem does not really affect me, because as you said, I can use
my own translation program written in Euphoria. The problem affects my
pupils at the University, because they have only access to this compiler, do
not know many tricks, and so I'd prefer they use the standard facilities of
the compiler. You know, there is no code-page for ANSI coding that works for
DOS. Even if it were one, this would imply modifying DOS for other tasks.
So, as a teacher, I'm at a loss.
Thanks again.
