   Nope. ;-)

   The locale is there, so is it wrong?

       call setlocale() before initscr() (#86)   
      
       See section Initialization in man 3 ncurses.   
       https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/ncurses.3x.html   
       Locale shall be initialized before ncurses initialization.   
      
   The latest one doesn't seem so change anything regarding screen output.   
      
    VA> Do you still run it with LANG=en_US.cp850?   
      
   Yes.   
      
    VA> In some message I saw en_EN.CP850.   
      
   The localdef command, created the directory with lowercase 'cp850' although I   
   specified it with uppercase 'CP850'. It also shows it with lowercase 'cp' when   
   locale -a is executed. So I switched to specifying it as lowercase in my   
   golded start script. But case probably doesn't matter.   
      
    VA> Could you also run:   
    VA> LANG=en_US.cp850 locale
