Instead of complaining about the lack of 8th bit support in various
programs, how about supplying authors with some sample text files and
a small program which configures their computer to GENERATE AND
DISPLAY this text (or alternatively, instructions on how to do it by
installing the needed device drivers which are supplied with MS-DOS).

The ball is in your court, 8th bit users.  Give us the tools we need
so we can SEE what you need!  Contact me via e-mail for uploading
instructions to SIMTEL20.
