[comp.windows.x] xterm does not understand ASCII codes greater than 127

falmagne@hydra.cf.uci.edu (Jean Claude Falmagne) (05/18/89)

I am porting a CAI course to Sun3/280, X11R3.  This requires dispaying
many non-standard characters (mathematical symbols).
I am looking for the patch up to xterm which was posted around January'88
and which makes xterm accept and correctly interpret high ASCII codes (128-255).
The version of xterm that I now have chops off the highest order bit of the
8-bit character codes sent to it, and uses only the lower 7 bits.
Perhaps, somebody has a collection of all recent patches. Please respond!!
Since this patch has already been posted, it would probably be better to
write to me directly: dina@aris.ss.uci.edu or falmagne@hydra.cf.uci.edu .
Thank you.
