Dear Carl
Now I have ANSI1252.ZIP I have been able to apply Robert's fixes to the
ghostscript a4 printer from vdosplus and the result is impeccable. So
far as I can see everything comes out as it should. This would appear
to provide a complete CP1252 compliant version of XY4 based on the
ability of vdosplus to operate in CP1252 and the hacked XY4 files that I
made a couple of years ago.
The only slight niggle now is translating to a windows format such as
RTF when there is XY4 formatting to deal with too. I have been
exploring the XYWWWEB.U2 RTF conversion routine. So far as I can tell
it is limited to a subset of the 437 code page (up to about 187, I
think). I am guessing here, but I assume this is based on the old
filters that shipped with XY4. It would be nice to find a complete
CP1252 conversion but I imagine that is impossible -- or at least it
will cost money. Was there ever a 850 code page version?
Best wishes
Paul
