Upon close evaluation you will notice that these
manufactures do not address a true foreign character set. Only
a subset of the extended ASCII character codes is addressable,
thereby leaving out some of the required foreign characters.
The Apex II foreign character set produces not
only extended ASCII characters but true foreign characters for
Danish, Portuguese, German and Spanish. You will not see these
characters available in other portable data collectors.
FOREIGN.ZIP is a simple BASIC demo program for
the Apex II that creates a LCD screen to display each character
set by country.
