Re: TL 2024 cannot be installed on some Windows computers (again²!)

[Zdenek Wagner]

Hi,

the problem with Windows is that the graphical programs use different
encoding than MSDOS windows. The attachments show the problem. I ask
for apology from those who know Armenian, I prepared this file before
I started learning this beautiful language and it is based on Google
translate, bad dictionaries and incomplete description of grammar. The
attachments show the Linux terminal and notepad + MSDOS window in
Windows XP and Windows 7 running in VirtualBox The Linux terminal
shows that I have copied the files to a directory shared with the
VirtualBox.

And for those who know Armenian: Naked Shepherdess (Մերկ հովվուհին) is
a classical Czech detective story about a historical picture of a
naked shepherdess (մերկ հովվուհու նկարը) which was stolen and a few
persons were murdered. At that time I knew just the script and now I
see that my attempts were wrong, so կներե՛ք
