Thanks Tomas.  I didn't see your promise to look at the problem.

I have just relied on email replies for comments etc. How do I look at all comments, other questions, etc on the Web?

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.

I still intend to have a look at it (as promised previously), just had no
time for that (if noone else provides answer till then).

Tomas
