Using the full extended ASCII character set
If you want Quantum to recognize the full extended ASCII character set, you can convert the bineas.dat file provided with Quantum without any intermediate editing.
1 Type:
UNIX | cd $QTHOME/include |
Windows | cd %qthome\include |
2 Type:
bintab -o bineas.dat bintab.qt
The -o on the command line indicates that the numbers in bineas.dat are octal values.
If you want to revert to using the standard ASCII character set later on, either rename bintab.qt (useful if you might want to use the extended character set again in the future), or replace it with a standard ASCII file:
bintab -o binasc.dat bintab.qt
