   Thank you Nick!  I've pretty excited to get this rolled out soon to the bbs   
   for everyone to use.

   There will be plenty of testing to do once it's ready to go.  I know most   
   characters seem to translate well in the process.  However, the challenge will   
   be to figure out the best set of Fonts that display the most accurate   
   High-Ascii characters.  Fixed-size fonts seem to do the best job.  However,    
   at high resolutions they make everything a bit small if you keep the 80x25   
   aspect ratio.  And fonts that resize seem to have lines and spaces between   
   characters.  So it's a trade off right now.   
      
   The best I've seen so far have been in straight Linux console off Arch Linux.    
   The default VGA 80x25 seems to display everything perfectly!   Although, I   
   have noticed some spacing that appears to be off on certain character here and   
   there.  So it's possible a single character is not getting translated or one   
   that is, is not displaying properly with its Unicode variant and those small   
   anomalies will be some work to track down.
