[head spins] Just to make certain: I wasn't asking about UTF-8
support in old DOS, which of course no one would expect. I´m just
talking about the display of the up-arrow character, and similar
IBM chars with values below 0x20, in very old DOS programs (like
IBM Fixed Disk Organizer), which is OK for root but not for user.
Sorry if I misunderstood you...
Regards, Jan
