Here's a question that I hope there's an answer to, but I'm not that hopeful. The French department has been using a Televideo 955 with a French ROM as a terminal on our micro network here. This ROM maps certain characters in the normal ASCII character set to appear on screen as certain accented French characters. For example, the character @ appears as "a accent grave" on screen. The French department now has a Mac and will eventually convert all their documents on the old micro to MS Word. For the time being however, they still have to access these old files and want to use the Mac as a terminal. Unfortunately, the characters that the TVI955 displayed on screen as French characters, display as they really are on the Mac screen. Does anyone know of a terminal emulator (preferably PD) that can be configured to display French characters on screen when certain normal characters are encountered? You help would be *greatly* appreciated. (We're currently using Kermit.) Peter Steele Acadia Univ.

VersaTerm 3.1 has the provision to map incoming characters to something different and vice-versa. This would easily handle this--it also will save files with the Mac grave-accent-e character in it, and translate it back if it is sent back to the host. -cbb Chris "Johann" Borton, UC San Diego ...!sdcsvax!borton borton@ucsd.edu "Letztes Jahr in Deutschland, noch ein Jahr hier, en dan naar Amsterdam!
