When the .DO file is transferred to an M100, it'll show up with the right accents. If you want to view M100 files on a modern computer, you'd convert them using a tool like iconv. By the way, the BASIC program is not actually in CP865, but a special character set that I do not think anyone knows the correct name for. It was used only on the Tandy/Radio-Shack portables, so some people call it the Model 100 charset. It appears your "Modell 100" actually uses a slight variant, the same as seen on the Tandy 200 (and later on the Tandy 102). --b9 P.S. If anyone has knowledge of where the M100 character set came from or what it is actually named, I'd like to hear about it!
