DOS Style Text
(View Menu)
Unfortunately DOS and Windows programs handle international characters
differently. Wilbur always assumes files beginning with non text characters
have been created with Windows programs like MS Word. Unfortunately
for pure text files it is difficult to tell how they might have been
created and hence this switch. It normally tracks the corresponding
setting in the the index dialog box,
but can be used to switch how the contents pane displays a file.
Note that this has no effect on how the files were indexed. A file
which has been indexed assuming Windows text handling can be viewed
and searched locally with DOS text handling, but a global search would
not find words containing international characters if the file did indeed
contain DOS style international characters.
