Yes, I'm quite sure that's true in most cases. FWIW, dBASE IV version 1.5 does support Japanese for date format. It's one of the options for 'SET DATE' command

- fluoridation 11mo agoIsn't that just the order of the date components for I/O? It's still just ASCII characters.
- dardeaup 11mo agoYes! I was just pointing it out to show that they had at least thought of Japanese users (in some small way).
- Rizz 11mo agoBut the past didn't use ASCII as such, but extended character sets, or multiple characters sets, which did allow for Russian, German, etc. text interfaces.
- FarmerPotato 11mo agoThere is history frozen into printer manuals. One solution was control codes like DC1 to bank-switch the appearance of a block such as ASCII 128-159.
