it was a near miss (ö)
my 'English-programmed' PC can't do umlauts etc. when posting here -
I have to draft in Word then copy & paste if I want accents,
which is irritating for a linguist!

try it in this way (just like me) first you typ" and without stopping next de o and you get ö it works with much more é ü .my 'English-programmed' PC can't do umlauts etc. when posting here -I have to draft in Word then copy & paste if I want accents,which is irritating for a linguist!
nice I make one (after checking it) in a Pdf and post that in the technical threadÞanks Admi - it seems to work, eventually!It doesn't always produce the expected result -I'll save it and experiment a bit.
Hi admihoek, I just discovered this posting of yours. I tried holding the ALT key down on my iMac then I hit '0' '1' '6' '9' (or '+' then '0' '1' '6' '9'). This resulted in "0169" or "+0169" appearing as text, not the © symbol I was hoping to get. What am I missing, please? Thanks, Ranger1.try this, you can use it on every computer

if your computer is a normal DOS-computer it must work for all otherwise there is something wrong in or with your PCuse the number keypad at the right of your keyboard, not the ones above the qwerty row.
Some of them work on mine, not all produce what Admi's post shows.
of course

Marcie it is very simple everyone who used windows and their programms use DOSI as well, spent a good bit of time in Japan, and I agree totally with everything you said.....I LOVED the school children, all so polite....males and females......I was in Yakooska, Saesbo, and Shimoda....(SP?) And although I couldn't understand any of the writing, their smiles made me feel welcomed.....
Does ANYONE still use DOS? I still have my 6.23 disks here...?
in "real life" I'm dealing constantly with symbols, accents and non-roman scripts,
and transferring them from one computer to another is always a pain,
I don't think there's such a thing as "normal" DOS,
at least as far as those things are concerned,
MS simply haven't got their act together, it's chaotic
G'day Eulalia, I don't know if there is a "normal" (i)Mac either but to a noviciate like myself, DOS etc. does seem so unruly. I remember (with a smile) that the "Y2K" armageddon did not affect Macs.
I'm fascinated by fonts, symbol sets etc. and would love to be able to develop a font, based on my own script. Use of modifiers e.g. 'control', 'alt' or 'command' with a letter would vary that letter slightly to simulate variations of that same letter, as written in a passage of script. I'll dream on! Warm regards, Ranger1.
both are based on DOS DOS is the language instruction for all computers. Even in windows 7 and all other are all instruction based on DOSThat was more or less how it worked with dear old Locoscript that I played with as a kid on an Amstrad PCW. You could easily switch into Greek or Cyrillic, too. Much more convenient than the jumble of symbols on Word!
Because people wanted windows. Not Bill Gates' Microsoft made it difficult but the people.which shows it can be done. why does Microsoft have to make life so difficult?
