While not specific to RBASE, I've run across something that I would like to
verify.
Under Win NT, the following occurs when keying in ALT 255 from:
DOS: hard space
Notepad: hard space
Browser: hard space
RBDOS 4.5++: hard space
RBWIN 6.x: hard space
ie, it all works as expected.
Under Win 95, the following occurs when keying in ALT 255 from:
DOS: hard space
Notepad: _
Browser: _
RBDOS 4.5++: hard space
RBWIN 6.x: UNTESTED
Note the oddity under Notepad and Browser. This seems to be an actual ALT
95, the underscore.
When inserting an ALT 255 into an RBWIN 6.x database via an R:Tango form, a
Win 95 browser will insert an _ instead of a hard space.
Sel all from table where field = '_' yields the inserted record.
The same action from an NT browser inserts the hard space properly.
This is not RBASE specific... go to www.yahoo.com and put in an ALT 255 in
the search box and I get an _.
I am curious, do others see the same behavior; what about under
Win98/2000/ME?
