You missed MirBSD, which incidentally is UTF-8 only (with the known
issue that you need to run “script -lns” or GNU screen on the text
console, but for Unicode you want xterm anyway).

You’re right on the suggestion of not using it. (I read about PuTTY
being suggested as replacement – does it allow a “local” shell? If
so, it could even be used on Win32s which allowed 32-bit programs
to run on Win3.1 but not console programs… hm…)
But there are two ways to fix this for vim.exe:
• chcp 65001 (switch the “codepage” to UTF-8, works horrible).
• Change vim.exe to use the “wide” console instead of the ANSI/OEM
console functions, which use proper UCS-2 (later UTF-16) characters
for terminal I/O (works like a charm and even in NT 3.x).

Right. Actually, they kinda did and are no longer among the biggest
three offenders against OSS.

I did suggest banning them, didn’t I? ☺
