Very very off subject, though I'm just wondering if we could
reimplement dt to have multibyte capability, I mean a friend of mine
asked me if he could use Japanese(and, probably Korean and Chinese as
well) on raw console, so just wonder if we could give dt to understand
them.
Suppose it's much easier than porting KON(PLEASE don't ask me what it
is! :-) to NetBSD/mac68k.
