- You can get the other characters by using SI and SO (shift in and shift
- out for the less initated) or shift in set 2. So CUTCP correctly implements
- DEC graphics and multinational characters over seven bit lines. It's
- actually a mix of features from 102, 220 and 300, but who's complaining.
- You may have to patch the host to handle 7-8 bit conversion, but the code
- isn't difficult.
-
- The easiest solution is to use MS-Kermit which handles it automatically.
- It also supports code pages if necessary.
