But the ones you have written aren't characters Z and z, but rather they are accented characters (Z or z with a caron, or hacek). They are in the upper 128 of an 8-bit char table and will vary depending on the char set. If you look here: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/latin2.html at ISO 8859-2

FrameMaker ships with a set of flowchart primitives. They are poorly drawn and pretty much crap. I re-drew them many years ago. Some people on the list have tried them out. If anyone found them useful, maybe they will comment. If you're interested I'll try to find them. I've not used them in
