Under Linux you don't know the character set that is used on the terminal. It can also be a VT100 terminal that does not understand hi-ascii characters. When you want compatible console programs you can only use 7 bit characters and not use any fancy cursor movements/colors. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
