R. Germany Lines: 22 I just tried the new WinQvtNet wich was uploaded to cica a few days ago. It works quite well, but has an annoying bug which makes it unusabe here. It is not possible to create the "@" character using WinQvtNet. Instead of sending the character, the program beeps and does nothing. On the German keyboard, which we use here, the @ character has to be typed by holding down the right Alt key and pressing the "q" key, then. To my surprise, all other such chars which have to be typed that way (i.e. "~{[]}\|") work. @ is the only character which shows the problem. By the way: the Terminal program which comes with Windows is much more broken - it beeps on all characters which have to be typed using the right Alt key. Obviously, the German subsidiary of Microsoft and all the beta testers in Germany don't own or use modems :-) Wolfgang Strobl #include
