[mod.std.mumps] $Characterset

hokey@plus5.UUCP (10/04/85)

The point about $characterset is as much about graphics as it is about
collating.  I understand that an x3.4-1968 graphics device can properly
do underlining if it is also an x3.64 device, but it that is a function
of its x3.64 abilities, not its x3.4-1968 status.

Additionally, I am *not* trying to move Mumps away from ASCII.  I am simply
trying to permit Mumps to be "backward compatible" in a standard fashion,
and, similarly, permit applications to be written in a manner which befits
the local environment.
