Okay,
So I have made the STUPIDEST TEST
EVER:
All I have done is CHANGE the code page to 850
(Latin I). I didn't use any of the CONFIG.SYS stuff.
ALL I DID was type at the DOS prompt:
CHCP 850 (Enter)
LYNX.BAT (Enter)
And ALREADY I SEE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. But it
ain't PERFECT:
Instead of displaying ç as "ç" I get a
comma ",".
Instead of displaying à as "Ã " I get TWO
CHARACTERS "'a".
Instead of displaying é as "é" I get an
"e".
So unless we sollicit the help of some HARD CORE
coder... MY QUASI FIX IS "Add CHCP 850" to the LYNX.BAT.
Anyone feeling like spending more braincells on
this problem? Someone would need to explain why changing the CODEPAGE to
850 makes Lynx somehow INTERPRET a whole new mapping table... (Not to
mention USE MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER to display). This sounds like BLACK
MAGIC to me... Not something I'm ready, willing to tackle.
Whoa I kinda feel like a "Rocket Scientist"
today... :)
