Hello -
I recently had a bit of bother with French colons or vertical strokes or
whatever they are called. I have now had another kind of bother. I was using
The Semware Editor and Icon 9.3.1 for DOS. On a source file containing the
augmented string concatenation operator ICONT gave 'invalid character' error
messages. WICONT from Windows Icon did the same.
A hex view of the file showed that the vertical strokes were being
represented by the byte DD.
I then looked at the file using VEDIT, and there were strange characters
where the vertical strokes should be. I changed them for vertical strokes
and then ICONT translated the file without problems. Now the byte
representing them was 7C.
Steve Wampler kindly helped me with the previous problem I had, but I am now
wondering if there is a DOS bug concerning this character. Or are there two
vertical stroke characters, one with a break in it and one without?
Different text editors seem to have different opinions about this character
(or these characters). I have changed recently from Windows 95 to Windows
98 - I have not had this problem before.
