Can anyone tell me if the line drawing characters are standardised in any
ISO standard?  I mean the kinds of characters you use for drawing boxes on
terminals, e.g. like the ones that really annoy you when your VT100 has
received some line noise :-)

Email would be appreciated.  If the info is forthcoming, I will summarise
(to std.internat).

Thank you.
