Erratic results when running legacy programs that do single character read

[denhamson]

Running a legacy program that executes command Read IN:TIMEOUT appears to work OK for alphabetic and numeric characters but returns strange results with punctuation characters. Examples "/" character input echoes as "¿" and "" character input echoes as "8" with corresponding wrong ascii values in the IN variable.

Unable to reproduce with:

USER > r a:2
/
USER > w a 
/

Please provide code to reproduce.

See attached export of a object script routine called readtest and attached sample output. For all three read types the keys entered were / then * then ENTER Hope this helps. Mike Brown [email protected]

@denhamson, attachments are still not attached (I guess the mail response doesn't work for attachments here). Thanks!

Trying with pdf attachments, GitHub doesn’t appear to look xml or rtf file types. Mike Brown [email protected]

You are correct, GitHub doesn’t pick up attachments from emails, I have uploaded attachments directly to GitHub website. Mike Brown [email protected]

@denhamson, I still cannot see the attachments. Try using zip for other file types. You need just to drag&drop file onto the comment input here on GitHub.
