Many thanks to all who replied to my query re 24 hour time in windoze. The
two capital H did the trick. I suppose that if the windoze help had worked
when I clicked on it, I wouldn't have needed to ask the question.
Just goes to show how useful packet radio is.
I'm not exactly sure what version of windoze I have. There is some sort of a
logo that flashes on and off when it boots up, but it's a bit too fast to see
what it is. It reports as DOS 8.0 with funct 30h of DOS 21h INT, so it's
either W-2k or W-me. Anyway, I don't use windoze for anything more than to
try out my DOS programmes, so I don't care what version it is.
Good old IBM DOS 6 is much more reliable and stable.
Now here is another little question re windoze. Is there any way to make
text editors like notepad to display ASCII characters > #128 properly?
E.g. #234 ê is the ohms symbol. This comes out as a ˆ (ASCII 136) in all
versions of windoze that I've tried. ˆ (ASCII 136) comes out as a small black
square which could be #220 but is probably some crazy windoze symbol.

Couldn't agree more Andy. They sure have a knack of doing things differently
from anyone else. Maybe the A in ASCII stands for Austria or Afghanistan or
somewhere else. Surely, It couldn't be American could it???
