Hi. :) I have question about french and german signs. I want prepare set characters with right codes to TYPE guide files in this two languages. I know about standard Windows 1252 (western latin) and ISO-8859-1, but it seems not right to show txt/doc files in Amstrad's world. I know about french keyboard in CPC and 5 french characters (I know ASCII codes), but where is rest? As I know should be 13 signs not 5. Maybe rest are using so rare, maybe unnecessary. And where are big/capital letters? I don't know, maybe in french language none word start on any typical french signs, so is not necessary to define all of them. The same question about german letters, I mean capital letters.

So, which letters are important and what codes are using by French and German users of Amstrad in word processors, Basic etc.??  Any help??

PS.: I hear CPC was popular in Greece, but I never seen picture of Amstrad with greek text on screen. I know Gryzor is Greek so can you show me some links to satisfy my curiosity? :)
