Hello, If you are developing C/C++ programs in a terminal environment, you may know the problem of the codepages. Sometimes in Putty, SSH,... you may have some problems with characters.
What about this "Portability" of your terminal applications? - Not great, isn't it? If you would like to have your code portable and also looking the same on each operating system, it will not be so easy. For instance, Latin,... codes are necessary depending on the country. One which is cool is the CP437. I like the CP437 on Linux for xterm for nice terminal images, but the problem is that users have not necessarily all installed. CP437 remains also portable with windows PDcurses dll (I mean the pdc34dll.zip one, without 'w'). http://dmr.ath.cx/misc/cp437/ Would you know a technique to have a way that your application looks the same on whatever system (Linux, Mac, OS/2, Windows,..)? Best wishes & Regards, Pat
