You must warn the system that the terminal will send 8 bit characters. For an UNIX BSD system,put the command "stty pass 8" in your .profile or .login file, according to the shell that you are using.

You must also advise the system that you are using the character set iso-8859-1:

	LC_TYPE=iso-8859-1
	export LC_TYPE
If you are using X-Window, you must check that the display window can display the iso-8859-1 character font.

For example, put in your resource file .Xdefaults the following line:

XTerm*VT100*font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1

The choice of the particular font is yours, of course.

It is important to have a fixed font with the name ended in "m-*-iso8859-1". Use xfontsel or xlsfonts to choose your font.

Xterm also requires another resource in order to accept 8 bit character set. Put in your .Xdefaults file the following line:

XTerm*EightBitInput: True
