Test - MS uses the right thousand separator with your Windows version?

[frktons]

Hi international guys scatterd all over the world. I need your help/test to see if the
routine implemented in the attached code recognizes the correct thousand currency
separator for your country.

Can you try the attached code, press "C" when the program finish to display the results, and
paste the content of the clipboard into the forum, saying if the separator used is correct or
a weird interpretation of MS guys. ?

My display correctly shows the european point separator:

i don't see what the program came up with for the seperators
but, i have written a pInit routine that returns ',' and '.' as the monitary seperator and decimal point for my location
i was modifying an old formatted dw to ascii routine i had before to use the pInit result
if i get time to play with it, i may post it for you to test

Thanks Dave. This was not expected, no one has noticed that, and many are using win xp, or even win 2000
and this doesn't happen on their computers.

Are you sure it doesn't depend on something related to your OS configuration?

By the way I hope you used the last version, in the first post of this thread.

opened a new window by clicking on the program and got the same result
if no one else reports the same, just ignore me   :lol

If nobody else will notice that, I promise I'll ignore you.  :P

Better if you don't ignore your computer, by the way.  :lol

Hi Frank,

I compiled and loaded the application however found the following issues....

1) I cant see all the screen, it loads at a weird size and I have to manually resize it
2) Might I suggest you add the testbed version to the results screen so when someone reports an issue you know it really is an issue :bg
3) It doesnt seem to copy properly I press C it said results copied to the clipboard and then just pasted the result below:

In order to use the testbed you should:

1] set the console propreties to 40 rows and 90 columns. Use font Lucida Console/b].
2] save the setting, so next time you run it, it is already set.
3] try again, and let me know.

By the way what resolution is your screen set? 1024x768 should be enough, just try.
:bg

using this resolution I can see all the screen and I get this with "C":
