How to print Extended ASCII Characters

editor or MS Word and entering Alt 219 (numeric key pad) displays the
box type character █. I can put this into a Powerstation 1.0 write
statement and it prints successfully. However CVF 6.5 displays the |

How are you generating the characters?

Here's an example:
If the following program is compiled and run with Compaq Visual
Fortran 6.5 as a console application, the result is a box printed with
ASCII text based characters (corners, horizontal lines, and vertical
lines).
write(*,*) char(218),char(196),char(191)
write(*,*) char(179),' ' ,char(179)
write(*,*) char(192),char(196),char(217)
end
But if the same program is compiled and run as a standard graphics or
quick win application, a list of character codes gets printed instead.

This has little to do with Fortran and everything with the display
method.
The characters you want to print are outside the ordinary ASCII range
and
therefore the graphical representation is subject to such things as
code pages.
These graphic characters you are trying to use are not present in
other
code pages or are in a different position. (I have never quite
understood
the terminology but it has to do with OEM versus ASCII)

I have not found a way to do this. Console applications, and
PowerStation 1.0 )(which was a DOS product), use the "OEM 437" codepage
for output. This DOES have a corresponding font, "MS-DOS CP 437", but
this is not a font you can select in a QuickWin application (which a
later post of yours said you wanted to do.)

Have you tried using an A-format?

How did my suggestion go?

The A-format has the same result as in this variation of my previous
example:
write(*,10) char(218),char(196),char(191)
write(*,10) char(179),' ' ,char(179)
write(*,10) char(192),char(196),char(217)
10 format(3a1)
end
I have a textual user interface (TUI) that I developed with
Powerstation 1.0 under Windows 95. Powerstation does not compile
under Windows XP. I would like to make my TUI available for other
compiler and operating systems.

Works fine (assuming intent is a hollow outline box figure) w/ CVF 6.6
in console mode under XP.
As expected, and as Steve L notes, this _WON'T_ work in an actual
Windows session mode app.
But, if the intent is a TUI, what's wrong w/ building console app, anyway?
