I wrote an app at $previous-job that used double-height/double-width characters in xterm. I might have been able to use unicode but then everyone who wanted to use in would need to have configured their xterm for UTF-8 - and I don't believe had done that. >- Who cares about 88 colour support?

And running legacy apps that predate unicode. --=20 Peter Jeremy --raC6veAxrt5nqIoY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (FreeBSD) iKYEARECAGYFAlMNrPtfFIAAAAAALgAoaXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3Bl bnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDBCRjc3QTcyNTg5NEVCRTY0RjREN0VFRUZF OEE0N0JGRjAwRkI4ODcACgkQ/opHv/APuIeMcQCfXDVwRgn8qUwJ1HFa5W31AljI ejkAoK/flBPdpgyjiy0pL976dmWgXNYj =GOqp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --raC6veAxrt5nqIoY--
