Hi!
Ive got a problem when converting a DOS program to Windows. The problem
is that the letter alpha works in swedish DOS but not in Windows. Is
there an Alt-code for it somewhere?

Please help!
Thanxalot!

Windoze and DOG indeed use different encoding of characters above
127, such as accented characters, Greek letters (alpha), and various
symbols (eg. linedraw characters). The easiest way to see what
the correspondence is is to write a short program in Windows
to show the characters above 127; just loop thru varying char value
from 128 to 255.
