Hello,
talk(1) uses the isprint() function to determine if a character is
printable. If it's not, it outputs '^' followed by the character without
his 8th bit. However, isprint() and friends are broken currently on
FreeBSD (at least on -STABLE), so it will never recognize an accentued
character as printable.
The attached patch remove the isprint() test so that it's possible to
write special characters. It also removes the now useless setlocale()
call and headers.
When locale support will be complete, I'm volunteer to re-introduce
this check if someone thinks it's really worth it.
Could someone review this ?
Thanks,
Maxime
