[comp.lang.pascal] Turbo Pascal Procedure To Edit ASCII Characters?

walsh@cs.odu.edu ( Furic James deDunstable ) (03/08/89)

Does any one out there have a Turbo Pascal ( Version 3 ) Procedure that can
allow you to edit ASCII characters or ASCII Extended characters and use them
in Text mode?  Say for example you wanted to change a "corner piece" into
a rounded corner piece or a cent sign, or a what ever.  I would very much
appreciate it if you would please mail me it.

I'm not sure what kind of hardware you're using, but if you don't have
something like a HGC+, EGA, or VGA, which have definable text mode
fonts, I think you're out of luck.  You can however, do this if you are
in graphics mode (but only to ASCII characters 128..255) and using the
BIOS or DOS routines to put characters on the display.
