There was a lot of code added to handle foreign character sets, based on the Videotex/NAPLPS standards. I think I've got the hand-drawn schematics in my file still. That whole early 80s period in retrospect seems something of a black hole for me. I was dealing with a bucketload of personal issues and so took on as much work as possible to get the bills paid. So I did a fair bit of Unix development, sysadmin-ed a VAX 11/750 running BSD and got involved in too many short-term project to remember.
