Hey Paul!

 PH> with extra padding where I would sit down on it

Which is why I called it the comfy chair.

 PH> in fact happen to be an image of a chair

In fact it isn't even the Latin capital letter ezh reversed here as I lack that
particular character within the font I am using, for the record kbd's
LatGrkCyr-12x22 consolefont.  I see it as a reversed question mark which is the
default displayed character when there isn't the proper character for display. 
Makes it rather obvious that way and doesn't create any havoc ... so far.  The
chairs are only displayed on eight bit IBM character sets where the 16 bit
utf-8 code matches the line/box drawing characters when split into two 8 bit
charcters which they aren't ... unless of course the editor doesn't understand
that which in the case of DOS-think it doesn't and likely never will given they
have issues with 7 bit character sets (eg ascii) nevermind 8 bit character sets
which they claim as high ascii which of course never existed.

There are very good reasons that 99.99% of abandonware comes from the
DOS/IBM/MS crowd.  Not counting utf-8, most of what I am using today existed
way back when I first started albiet updated to run on modern hardware.

Life is good,
Maurice
