   You may also try "putty".

   Just make your terminal wider and then start golded. It will use whole window   
   width unless you use "Dispmargin" parameter in your config. As for quotes,   
   they will be broken down to "Quotemargin" columns.   
      
    VA>> To use cp437 you need to change Putty config for sure. And I'd

    NB> Honestly, I have no interest in using CP437 in a terminal. I don't

   Sure. That's your choice. :) I just want to tell that GoldEd was designed to   
   work with one byte encodings and UTF-8 may work incorrectly.   
      
    VA>> Some people do experience issues like you. And would be really   
    VA>> great to find and fix root cause.   
      
    NB> I agree! Then again, if/when you get iconv working properly I think   
    NB> many of these issues will probably disappear since iconv > old crusty

   I'm working on some refactoring now in charset conversions now. When that is   
   done, then iconv integration will be very simple.

   Got it. What is weird, last commit fixed issue for one sysop and broken it for   
   you.   
      
   Could you try to build from commit 372220588c6f17cd3f709dcb721a9144169d988c ?   
   It was before all my changes. If it will have same behavior, then it's   
   something wrong with setup on your side and we'll try to figure that out.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Vitaliy Aksyonov.
