Re: RPG virus?!

This will help you work out what is going on:
<http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/WDSC_tips/MISC#I_have_these_strange_square_symbols_in_my_code.>

Removing them is probably really annoying to the SEU developer, as they are the codes for highlight and colour-changes that make the comments in the green-on-black SEU environment more readable. 


Best regards,

It won't hurt, just ugly.  We have the same deal going on.  I just
search-and-replace the bugs with a single blank to get them out of my face.

BTW, the green-screen display attributes (x20 - x3F) are placed in unused
positions in the spec (usually column 6 for comments as the spec type for
comments is ignored by the compiler, or column 5 for active specs).
