Open source plug-in can do ASCII conversions as an external function.
Alphen a/d Rijn, The Netherlands, November 6, 2001–Troi
Automatisering today announced the availability of Troi ASCII Plug-in
1.0.2 for FileMaker Pro.
What is the ASCII Plug-in?
Troi ASCII Plug-in adds the external function “Asci-LowSafe” to FileMaker
Pro. This function converts higher ASCII characters to lower ASCII
characters, while trying to retain as much information as possible. Here
are some examples for the translation: =FC becomes ‘ue’
=F8 becomes ‘o’
Troi ASCII is an open source plug-in: the download contains the source
code. To compile the source code you need MetroWerks Codewarrior as well as
a copy of FileMaker Developer 5.5 for some header files.
