even in dfconfig itself - that's got to be wrong. I am now of the opinion that this is a bug in the DF runtime - any comment DAW?ĭoing character translation in dfconfig fails to change the character. it didn't prevent me endlessly tweaking my emulator (TinyTerm) just to see it that would help - I believe in logic, but my faith isn't absolute (especially when I have a hard problem). With the 'cat' of the screen dump, DF is no longer involved (it created the screen dump, but there its involvement ended) and all characters display in the emulator correctly. It seems to me that since a screen-dump to file displayed with 'cat' shows those characters OK, it can't be the fault of the emulator, or of anything in Linux for that matter - it must be something in DF. The TERM and DFTERM variables are both "linux" and that is the emulation the terminal emulator is using, but things are no better (worse actually) in a terminal window from Gnome.Īnybody have any thoughts? It seems to me that the fact that the characters display OK in the print version implies that it has to do with DataFlex, rather than with Linux (Fedora Code 5) or the emulator (TinyTerm 4.53), but if the DFINI settings don't do it, what will? If I had any hair left I'd tear it out! :mad:
These characters fail to display properly (at all in fact: just spaces) on screen, but if I output the screen to a file and "cat" it, they are fine (the first image - disp-scrn.jpg - is how it displays, the second - prnt-scrn.jpg - is how it looks if I dump it to disk then "cat" the file): However doing this this totally fails to solve my problem. To express it all in decimal (for those uncomfortable with hex): (220 x 65,536) + 219 which equals (my calculator tells me) 14418139.

So to map DC (character 220: lower-half block character) to DB (219: full block character), you would use 0xDC00DB converted to decimal, which is 14418139. The things they need to be "=" to are composed as hex 0x, converted to decimal. OK, after a couple of hours of deconstructing what is going on in dfconfig (painful!), I discover that it has done me no good at all.įor reference, the DFINI codes for this are:
