Thanks Michael for the comment but that is what I am trying to do. I have played with Properties->Font in a command shell (cmd.exe) without luck

Hello,

I would like to print a square root symbol using write(chr(251)); as I could before SP3 for XP was installed on my PC.

Currently am getting a superscript 1 rather than the square root symbol from write(chr(251)).

I've tried the following kind suggestions of Tomas Hajny, unfortunately without success:

1.   In a command shell I entered
       CHCP 437     and then ran the program

2. Modified the source code to include the Windows unit and added line setConsoleOutputCP(437);,
      compiled and then ran the program.


I  examined the registry settings   in directory Codepage.
      Name              Data
    (default )         (value not set)
      ...
      ACP                1252
      MACCP        10000
      OEMCP            850
      OEMHAL        vgaoem.fon

Changed OEMCP to 437 and got an accented 'u'. Then restored the system.

I wonder if anyone can suggest a solution to the problem.

Have you tried simply using a different font for the console ?

Michael.
