I recently posted an ad to my BBS. I was informed that I needed to add a Chr$
kludge at the top to allow text editors/viewers to understand the character set
I'm using. I have no clue as how to do this or what this is. I run a C-Net BBS
using WinUAE to emulate AmigaOS. I have a pfile (door) called Logo that allows
me to make jumbo text messages and that is what I used. I've been informed
that in GoldEd the ad is just a jumble of characters. How can I fix this?
I think you are mixing up 2 things here.
The CHRS Kludge is indeed there to show which characterset you are using.
So you can convert them. (eg when I use german Umlauts ��� then it can be translated and shown correctly.)
This ONLY matters is you are using high "ASCII" chars. (characters with values bigger then 127).
In English this should not really happen (much).
As how to configure it ... if your editor/BBS whatever does not know about that kludge, then you cannot configure/use it at all.
BUUUUUT I think the garbled mess is NOT that.
Usually it is some weired BBS crap like ANSI or line codes or crap like that.
So if you export pure english ASCII text, the CHRS kludge should not matter much.
It is more important to NOT export BBS specific codes, but ONLY text.
CU, Ricsi
