PaulRB:
Try \x9C instead of \xA3.@Paul__B why did you suggest 163? Did you find that in Marco's font files or something.
Thank you for the correction on "C" strings. 
As I explained in #8, it seems the font file that BrianL has is not the same as I have, as presumably do you, which is essentially "IBMSCII", so the 165 matches his font file. To mine it would be 156. YMMV. I have not checked which version I have.
