    VA> Do you need help with locale generation?   
      
   I think I found out how to do this on my system.   
      
   First I used my systems package manager to install: "glibc-i18ndata - Database   
   Sources for 'locale'"   
      
   Afterwards this command ran without any output:   
      
   # localedef --no-archive -f IBM850 -i en_US en_US.CP850   
   #   
      
   And this directory was created with contents:   
      
   /usr/lib/locale/en_US.cp850   
      
   And 'locale -a -v' now shows:   
   ...   
   locale: en_US           directory: /usr/lib/locale/en_US   
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ...   
      
   But golded output is borked now, in my current utf-8 configured putty terminal:   
      
   https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/2a5c7f2fbdc4   
      
   It doesn't matter if I use luit or not, they are displayed the same.   
   Also the ~A characters for messages with CHRS: CP437 in the german areas are   
   still there.   
      
   And this is still the same:   
      
   https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/f3961b7ea085   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
