Dear BlackBox users.
How it is going on? In order to guard against misunderstandings: BlackBox 1.6-rc5 is the best version of BlackBox which is available. Now it supports Unicode inside forms. That is a very big advantage. So I'm wondering: Why the Russian user still works with the old version 1.5?
The reason is: There is a Russian version of BlackBox which is incompatible with the standard one. This version uses 8 bit ASCII code page instead of the 16 bit Unicode for Cyrillic characters.
I figured out the different between BB 1.5 and BB 1.5ru and add those changes to version 1.6-rc5. The result is the patch you found below here. The big difference is: I use the 16 bit Unicode for Cyrillic characters. But there is one drawback: The symbol file doesn't use Unicode. Maybe someone else can solve this problem.
I'm waiting of your feedback.
Regards
Helmut Zinn
