We are using curses to do screen handling and need to use the 8 bits
to represent french characters. Our sreens are vt220 (NCR4970). 
Our problem is that curses always strips the eight bit. Has anyone
succeded in convincing curses to accept and output the full 8 bits of
the characters. (raw is not sufficient).
