Why Does $c() Behave Differently on Different Systems?
Can someone help me understand what type of user error (?) is going on here please?
One one system, I write out a group of $c() values and get the expected results:
USER>for i=250:1:260 { write i," ", $c(i),! }
250 ú
251 û
252 ü
253 ý
254 þ
255 ÿ
256 Ā
257 ā
258 Ă
259 ă

On another system, I get some unexpected results:

We've made a general connection between the good values being generated from IRIS hosted on Linux and the unexpected values being generated on IRIS for Windows, although IRIS on one Windows system generates the expected values (see 2nd run above).
