Here's a question that I hope there's an answer to, but I'm not
that hopeful. The French department has been using a Televideo 955
with a French ROM as a terminal on our micro network here. This ROM
maps certain characters in the normal ASCII character set to appear
on screen as certain accented French characters. For example, the
character @ appears as "a accent grave" on screen. The French department
now has a Mac and will eventually convert all their documents on
the old micro to MS Word. For the time being however, they still
have to access these old files and want to use the Mac as a terminal.
Unfortunately, the characters that the TVI955 displayed on screen
as French characters, display as they really are on the Mac screen.
Does anyone know of a terminal emulator (preferably PD) that can be
configured to display French characters on screen when certain normal
characters are encountered? You help would be *greatly* appreciated.
(We're currently using Kermit.)
