   Got it. Not too old for FidoNet. :)   
      
    VA>> Do you need help with locale generation?   
      
    WvV> I think I found out how to do this on my system.   
      
    WvV> First I used my systems package manager to install: "glibc-i18ndata -

    WvV> And this directory was created with contents:

    WvV> And 'locale -a -v' now shows:

   This is exactly how I saw it on my computer, when was using pseudo-graphics   
   with wrong or missing locale.   
      
    WvV> It doesn't matter if I use luit or not, they are displayed the same.   
    WvV> Also the ~A characters for messages with CHRS: CP437 in the german   
    WvV> areas are still there.   
      
    WvV> And this is still the same:

   This looks like locale is not used. I saw such pictures when  Strange.   
      
   Do you use latest GoldEd build? Do you still run it with LANG=en_US.cp850? In   
   some message I saw en_EN.CP850.   
      
   Could you also run:   
   LANG=en_US.cp850 locale
