If you run 'convxlat 00371252' and compare the resulting TCPXLBIN file to 
the one we ship, they should be identical. 

>From my visual comparison, CANADIAN is very similar to 00370850, which 
translates to OS/2 (850).  But without knowing the EBCDIC hex values of 
the characters you are looking at and what character is being printed on 
the printer, I can't advise you.

I've looked in the 3174 Character Set Reference and confirmed that the 
"Canadian Bilingual" code page is 37.  I've also visually compared the two 
code pages to ensure the glyphs are the same.  You can see code page 37 
for yourself at http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/altmarka/codepage.html.

I use the table below for reference, FTPing or LPRing it from VM to see 
how it appears.  But don't trust a copy/paste to your 3270 as the e-mail 
systems have likely altered it.  I used to have a Q&D exec to generate it, 
but I can't find it now.
