Same application is being executed with all. (Filepro 16+)

Zipped the directory and unzipped it on the new machine.

Patched 1.1.17 as patches have become available to version 1.1.20. However,
one of them that looked right with version 1.1.17, I just applied the 1.1.20
patch and the line drawing characters are "A"'s with two dots over them
(horizonal line character) and 3's (vertical Lines) and such. This was the
only change to the machine that was preformed to create this affect. (SEE
