Add a new (logical) characterset to pcvt's VT220 emulation, all is already in place: fonts, mechanisms etc., it just has to be enabled and tested. To do so, have a look at pcvt_tbl.h and where it is called from, the resulting table just has to be a noop, because the lower character set is already IBM charset II :-) hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?
