Hi Nigel!

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

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

Degree symbol is ALT_248.
Cents symbol is ALT_155

Using ALT_0248 and 0155 displays the same here.

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.

We're trying to debug an issue where I was getting some bad packets but only via ILink. We thought it was the high ascii characters but that doesn't seem
to be the case and the last bad packet that I had contained only messages
from Nancy. Rob (Digitalman) looked at the packet and there was a null (^@) value between the packet terminating ^M^M characters so rather than that it looked like ^M^@^M. I removed the null and saved the file and it processed correctly, so really no idea where that came fine.

btw, anyone using vi or vim to edit a packet on a linux system, launch with
-b or use :set binary to set to binary mode then :set noeol
failure to do that and vi will tag a 0x0A on the end and also corrupt the packet :)

Actually they do work fine with MultiMail -- maybe not with the usual
plug-in editor. Using MM here with SEdit.

Ahhh! NotePad displays the degree symbol as that mystery o-overstrike-/ character! ...And so does WordPad. OK, so that problem appears to be
due to Microsoft's introductory-level word processing.

As long as it works! I've done than a few projects a little oddly
because didn't know a better way (common for me!), the real way was too expensive for a one/few time use, etc., etc.

Hi Nigel!

Top-quoting as just seems more logical. This one is wrong as used
'degree' and 'cents' characters respectively. The ALT_(0)176 is
supposed to be dotted block character, not an octothorpe.


Dec Hex Binary Character Description
35 23 00100011 # number
[Not found on the on-line chart I was using]


99 63 01100011 c
162 A2 10100010 › cent


111 6F 01101111 o
176 B0 10110000 ø degree

I'm not seeing a pattern yet.

A lot of stuff Microsoft has done lately...especially in relation to

When I ran GT Power, I used a template and created several menus with

But, what got me was a "joking statement" in the docs, where it said
"Dead is a registered trademark of The Undertaker, and Dr. Jack Kevor...

And I found later with WordPad. Or at least here with XP.

Which just added to the reasons for me to switch to Linux. I have
reasonably current/fast/etc. computers which work fine with XP, and
while I can appreciate the latest-and-greatest I really don't feel the
need to upgrade. Just like I can appreciate and admire a brand new car
I really don't have the need nore desire for one. (And yes, when I do
get a new motherboard and CPU, etc., it will be reasonably current - and
last for a decade or so.)

Not arguing for nor against Microsoft, just how I do things. Personally
I'm glad not to be stuck with my old XT tootling aling at 4.77 MHz. It
would be just fine for typing messages; not so good for watching TV!

Hi, Barry,

You got that right. Reminds me of when I had to have a cardiac catheterization done, and of course, you have to lay on your back.

I had BSOD's at times with XP, but I really liked it. Haven't
yet had a BSOD with Windows 7...although I probably shouldn't say

With regular (not virtual) XP I did have the occasional BSOD; copying
down then Googling the error code did help be resolve the issue -- well,
that one, then later got a new one. &) I don't recall having any BSOD
events with Virtual XP.

Which just added to the reasons for me to switch to Linux. I have

Probably so. Same reasoning when I was working I'd avoid (as best can)
any major projects during the Holidaze Season: long hours, strange
hours, social events, etc. Actually the GUI of Linux (here I use the
Ubuntu version) is similar to Windows - sometimes the biggest difference
is the Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons are at the upper left instead of
upper right.

Hi Daryl!

Hi, Barry,

And now we know something else about Daryl in the TMI category!!

Well, sometimes, the medical people make "dumb requests".

A perfect example was the story where this nurse was always "baby
talking" to this gentleman, and he had just about had enough of it.

So, he got an idea of how to deal with her!! He ordered a deal of
Apple Juice, but kept it hidden. When this nurse came in to ask for a
urine sample, she stepped out to let him "do his business". What she
didn't know was that he poured the apple juice (warm by now) into the
cup.

When she looked at the "specimen", she groaned "Oh!! A little dark!!". Typically, darker urine means you're not getting enough fluid through
your system.

With that, the man grabbed the specimen deal, and said "That's OK.
I'll run it through again", and drank the liquid.

The nurse fainted dead away. <G>

... Keep Using My Name in Vain And I'll Make Rush Hour Longer - God

Sort of like this outdoor Gospel Concert, and it started raining. This Christian woman singer, said "Now, Lord, please stop the rain. We're
trying to do a concert here". Well, the rain got heavier, and the woman
is basically "using Scripture to tell The Lord that He should stop the
rain". At that point, there was a huge close lightning strike, the rain
was coming down in droves, it started hailing, and a nearby weakened
earthen dam, burst.

The woman screamed "God's Answer was NO!! Run for your lives!!" <G>

Very odd.

Hi Daryl!

And now we know something else about Daryl in the TMI category!!

Well, sometimes, the medical people make "dumb requests".
A perfect example was the story where this nurse was always
"baby talking" to this gentleman, and he had just about had
enough of it.
So, he got an idea of how to deal with her!! He ordered a deal
of Apple Juice, but kept it hidden. When this nurse came in to
ask for a urine sample, she stepped out to let him "do his
business". What she didn't know was that he poured the apple
juice (warm by now) into the cup.
When she looked at the "specimen", she groaned "Oh!! A little
dark!!". Typically, darker urine means you're not getting enough
fluid through your system.
With that, the man grabbed the specimen deal, and said "That's
OK. I'll run it through again", and drank the liquid.
The nurse fainted dead away. <G>

There's a 'better' one in a lab: <details forgotten but essentially> technician pokes finger in fecal sample, then licks while rest of
staff/class looks on and starts gagging. Trick is to switch fingers!

... Keep Using My Name in Vain And I'll Make Rush Hour Longer - God

Sort of like this outdoor Gospel Concert, and it started
raining. This Christian woman singer, said "Now, Lord, please
stop the rain. We're trying to do a concert here". Well, the rain
got heavier, and the woman is basically "using Scripture to tell
The Lord that He should stop the rain". At that point, there was
a huge close lightning strike, the rain was coming down in
droves, it started hailing, and a nearby weakened earthen dam,
burst.
The woman screamed "God's Answer was NO!! Run for your lives!!" <G>

Took her a while to get the message!

Hi Daryl!

I don't know much about a Raspberry Pi...but a pineapple upside
down cheesecake sounds awfully good right now.

Plus a Raspberry Pi is difficult to digest!

Hi Nigel!

Oddly enough, I've had no more bad packets since Nov 9th. I'll
still keep an eye on things.

We'll do our best to take care of that for you! <bseg> Hopefully was
just a fluke. Michael is monitoring. I suggested it may be a node
issue -- connect to Node 1 and is fine but connect to Node 3 and oops!

Actually they do work fine with MultiMail -- maybe not with the usual plug-in editor. Using MM here with SEdit.
