What's with these crazy european keyboards?

Postby Cruk » Tue Jul 22, 2003 10:47 am

Finally I'm back on the BBS!. Bah, still can't figure out these whacky european keyboards. I mean who made it you had to press alt 6 and 4 to get @? I'll not mention all the hassles just to get a decent apostrophe. Anyone, good to see that the mud and BBS is running again. Unfortunately I got married plus still travelling aournd Europe. Means no mudding for me :?

Um alt 64 on numeric keypad goes back to DOS
You can generate most any of the 255 char codes that way.
It may have been intentionally done so that in the even a key got messed up you had a crazy backup way of getting at it.
I know it still works under most versions of windows, but Windows desn't use DOS anymore we are told, riiiiiight!
