under x11, with the old x11 sam which was at

    http://netlib.bell-labs.com/magic/netlib_find?db=0&pat=sam+pike

i hacked it so it didn't use unicode, just 8 bit [latin-1] chars.

i think that's all i needed to do as the lunix keyboard driver would
hand up the 8 bit chars correctedly.  i've used it on .se and .fr
keyboards.

it's just a couple of hack ifdefs.  i can send the diffs, if necessary.
