  GEM:1800 Fix broken degree symbol in web log viewer. Add a download link and instructions to the web log viewer. This is the master, it gets replicated throughout the web content by the cupd utility.

Good grief! I spent so much time trying to figure out how to get a degree symbol to render within an HTML <pre> block (in which the text is displayed as-is). The HTML entity &deg; renders raw, and the UTF-8 0xB0 renders as that diamond-? which is the slug for missing character in the font. Attempts to use the Unicode 0xC4B0 resulted in a '?'  I gave up and put a "d" in there for degrees.

See this Comm Center thread by Dick Berg. The degree symbol produced internally by ACP also shows trash in the browser when viewing (e.g.) log files. Add a translation to ashowtext.asp (this is one of the ASPs that is contained within each folder to need to put into the master then replicate it.

  Correct degree symbols in web displays. Reorganize current versus old release notes. Also includes relnote for 1756.

No brainer - use the HTML entity &deg; for the ultimate in portability. Use this throughout!
