Re: extended ascii

[Bryan Christ]

well maybe i'm going down the wrong path anyway.  here's the problem...

i run my program on a local, standard linux console and ACS_VLINE is 
drawn using the minus sign.  i shell into another box with ssh (from the 
same local console) and run the same program, but this time ACS_VLINE 
corresponds to codepage 437, character C4.  why the difference?

i ought to know the difference as much time as i spent mucking around 
with terminfo, but since the terminfo entry for the linux console does 
have definitions for acsc, the answer eludes me.
