Hi all
There is chr function in VergeC that returns a character corresponding to the given ASCII code. But can it be done vice versa ? I'm now developping a vc-library that will give possibility to use non-english characters in the output text both with english-ones, in order to make localized text and dialogs. In other word it works with two 96-characters fonts as if we worked with one on 192-characters, including national codepage.
I almost finished, but i really lack this function :( Can anybody help ?

Yeah I've done it!!! Now it works perfectly and i can make RPG in my native language(s) :)

Btw, it seems i have found a bug in the asc function:

//****************************************
int i=asc(chr(128));
if (i==-128) MessageBox("Voilà!");
//****************************************

The situation is the same with all the characters from 128 to 255 on Windows-1251 codepage (maybe on others too, havent checked yet)

I think the problem is with forgoten unsigned in the source code of the function. They calculate first the ASCII code into a signed short and then return it as int :/

It's easy to bypass if write like that:

// asc with positive native-characters
int masc(string c_str) {
int i=asc(c_str);
if (i<0) i+=256;
return i;
}
