Nearly any programmer’s editor can use ISO8859 (or Windows 1250) character set suitable for FlagShip’s GUI mode. For MS-DOS based source, best to use programmer’s editor supporting CP850 or CP437 encoding. There are many of them available, for example: • JEdit – free for Windows, Linux and other OS, supports code folding and .prg code highlighting, configurable. Set encoding by Utilities → Global options → Encoding → IBM850 • UltraEdit – commercial for Windows (and announced for Linux), supports code folding and configurable code highlighting. Set encoding by View → OEM charset Nearly all other editors for Linux (like Kate, Gedit, Nedit etc.) supports DOS source by selecting font with embedded cp850 or cp437 encoding. To handle embedded strings in DOS format properly, use SET SOURCE ASCII in your application.
