Subject: TACT help request
I've started to use TACT to create a database using multiple European
languages; but the most comfortable way to create the input involves creating
ANSI-character-coded files, and TACT is still in the world of IBMPC extended
ASCII. Unfortunately I've lost my TACT manual in my numerous moves in recent
years; I know that I can deal with this by manipulating the XLATTABL files,
but have forgotten which is which and what the syntax is. If anyone has
solved ANSI-input/ASCII-output and has appropriately modified tables I'd be
grateful if s/he could send me them as an attachment -- or if there is a
TACTxpert out there who could give me a quick couple of screenfuls I'd also
be grateful.
