>I'm converting an old FP DOS app. to VFP 6. I have a form that gets printed by my old app. It was hard coded (not using the report generator) and incorporates the use of character strings (eg CHR(218)) to print corners of boxes, etc. When I run this program unaltered in VFP the control characters print strange things not resembling their DOS counterparts.

The best option is to rewrite the form using the form builder in VFP. If you need to keep the form running, change the font to FoxFont. I've done this with some legacy FoxDOS code that will be replaced later this year.
