Re: [dev] [dvtm] Graphics in madtty.c

 Now I understand the mystery better. At home I do get the graphics
(using HEAD), but not at work. And the reason is that at home I use
en_US.utf8 while at work I'm stuck with AIX boxes that don't have that
locale installed, just en_US. So, the UTF8 code within dvtm prints the
actual UTF8 graphic characters while the non-UTF8 code within dvtm tries
to use the ncurses settings, but then doesn't print using ncurses.

On the other hand, now that I've been prompted to finally compile and
try a version of st, I love it! And, this has probably already been
discussed, but wouldn't it be more efficient to just write an optional
patch to st that provides dvtm-like windowing capabilities? Is this
already thought of for future?
