I would phrase that as ``since it ignores the loadable (8-bit) fonts of most VT-compatible terminals, of which ANSI terminals are a near conformant.'' Let's keep straight who copied whose models here. (I really wish ANSI hadn't futzed with the entirely reasonable VT end-of-line behavior. But I'm afraid this is getting a bit far from comp.lang.c, so followups to comp.terminals.) ---Dan
