ascii character set

Hi
I have a file from another source. This file I believe has some hidden characters in it apart from 'space'. Is it possible from loading this file into zeus to see all characters from the ASCII set?

regards

Alan

Provided the file does not contain null characters (i.e. zero) it should load.

Files containing null will be loaded but marked as read only because the nulls will be converted to space during the load.

Cheers Jussi

What you see is not dependent on Zeus but rather the font you have currently selected in the Zeus options.

Not all fonts define all the characters in the ASCII range.

As an example of this if you select the Terminal font then the text will be display using Code Page 437 which is a code page made famous by IBM MS-DOS PC.
