Recently, I have been trying to build Jove 4.4 under 386/ix. The
program compiles and runs o.k. But - since my machine uses an
8 bit character set (actually DOS850) - I would like to have
Jove use 8 bit chars (as you can see, I live in Denmark, and we
use those funny looking characters ...).

It appears from the code that Jove can run under DOS, using an
8 bit character set, but simply defining IBMPC does not do the  
trick, as this does a lot of other stuff too that Unix doesn't like.

My question now is: has anybody made the necessary changes to have
Jove run under 386/ix, using an 8 bit character set ? What will
I have to do ?

Thanks in advance,

Henning Bertram.
