Howdy
Sometime, I can connect to a customer system, and the vt100 terminal does a
great job of drawing lines.
Other time, I get + and - and | characters instead.
A clue please? Where do I start troubleshooting this?
start with the $TERM environment variable.
curses applications use that to lookup the terminal characteristics.
(ncurses may also note that the locale is set to a UTF-8 value and
depending on the $TERM setting, decide that line-drawing won't work).
