Hi Vitaliy,

On 2024-03-24 11:12:14, you wrote to me:

(Yes, it's old ;-))

 VA> Do you need help with locale generation?

I think I found out how to do this on my system.

First I used my systems package manager to install: "glibc-i18ndata - Database
Sources for 'locale'"

Afterwards this command ran without any output:

# localedef --no-archive -f IBM850 -i en_US en_US.CP850
#

And this directory was created with contents:

/usr/lib/locale/en_US.cp850

And 'locale -a -v' now shows:
...
locale: en_US           directory: /usr/lib/locale/en_US

But golded output is borked now, in my current utf-8 configured putty terminal:

https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/2a5c7f2fbdc4

It doesn't matter if I use luit or not, they are displayed the same.
Also the ~A characters for messages with CHRS: CP437 in the german areas are
still there.

And this is still the same:

Bye, Wilfred.
