Yes, I've got a French version too but the differences are simply to do with 
language prompts.

As far as I know there aren't any differences in the coding.

No.

However since I last wrote I was persuaded to buy another, more expensive, USB 
to serial convertor This one works like a dream and all my problems have gone 
away! It's made by Belkin which I think is American. It can be configured to 
work with Windows and optionally with DOS as well. I must say I was sceptical 
about buying another one, but I'm glad I did. I can now run Binkley for DOS and 
Telix for DOS! :-)

Best wishes, David
