- This problem was discussed here a couple of weeks ago, but no solution
- was posted (as far as I can recall). Fortunately, I managed to find a
- solution to the problem yesterday. You need to enable code page
- switching in the full screen sessions with the CONFIG.SYS statement
- DEVINFO=SCR,VGA,X:\OS\VIOTBL.DCP
- (where X: is your OS/2 boot drive)
-
- It worked for me - no more cent-yen problems :-)
