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? -- |
