In windows, when you're in DOS the numbers 0 - 255 have some corresponging character. You have some greek letters and math symbols, and special lines for making borders on the screen, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Anyway I recently got an old computer and installed RH 7.1. I installed it without X windows so its console only. The weird thing is that characters 128-256 aren't like they should be. They aren't the usual terminal symbols. Most of the characters are letters with little spanish punctuation marks, and several are just a solid block. It looks like the extended character set for times new roman or some crap like that. Is there anyway to change this? My programs that depend on all those extended ascii characters aren't making much sense anymore :D.
