As I already said in previous letter it is much easy to have the same code table on both ends and not violate POSIX then fix _each_and_every_ interactive client to deal with various tables. Moreover, if you even fix all of them for FreeBSD, you can't do it for Sun's f.e. BTW, you can find MSDOS keyboard driver which cat switch cp866/koi8-r by hotkey at ftp://ftp.kiae.su/msdos/sys/cyrillic/ -- Andrey A.
