Cordially,

I'm doing uppercasing inside my program (because
I was discouraged by my weakness in autotools from
trying to deal with configuration & using any library
casing functions), so originally I suspected my
own program as getting the uppercasing wrong,
and that is why I wound up logging to file in
hex code the actual bytes passed to ncurses.
(I'm doing casing via lookups built from a file
called UnicodeData I think, from a site by
Unicode consortium or something, which has
the mainline simple character attributes.)
