   This works:   
      
   "cp437 is a program to emulate an old-style "code page 437" / "IBM-PC"   
   character set terminal on a modern terminal emulator that uses UTF-8 or   
   similar.   
      
   It was written for the purpose of running the BitchX IRC client, which   
   utilises CP437 line-drawing characters in its default theme and artwork.  It   
   should also be broadly useful for things like viewing CP437 "ANSI art",   
   running nethack with the IBMgraphics option or running EPIC with scripts that   
   use CP437 artwork."
