Browser ASCII sets
from Gaelyne R. Moranec
Gaelyne R. Moranec
90 Hilliers Rd.
Reynella S.A. 5161
Australia.
The character sets in this collection are for use with Rod Gasson's
Browser program, and Matt Desmond's Desterm term program in place of
the des.ibmfullset character set. They may also be suitable for other
purposes too. These sets include the FULL ASCII character translations.
The character sets are from a variety of places, have a rich history
and and may even seem familiar to you. Almost all of these were
included either in the QWKRR128 archives or in the QWKCHRS.SFX file
which I released in 1994.
The original character sets were 5 blocks long and unsuitable for
use with Browser, since Browser (and Desterm) use 9 block character
sets.
This archive is only one of eight different archives of character sets
which I am releasing at this time. The other archives include one with
the CBM PETASCII sets for use with Browser, and six different archives
for Desterm's terminal emulations: VT52, VT100, IBMSET, CBMSET, CBM C/G
SET, and the AMIGASET. (Over 200 character sets in all eight archives).
Because converting and organising these character sets into each format
has taken considerable effort, I'm asking for a small contribution of
$10 or $15 (your choice) that I can use towards other Commodore
projects. This isn't a "shareware" project, as these character sets can
be used by different programs, but I did take the time and effort to
update them for your use and enjoyment. USA currency or check is
acceptable.
The following is a list of the files contained in this archive, with a
few notes about some of the character sets and their history.
