Subject: box() function in curses

The box() function in curses creates an ugly looking box, where the extended
characters drawing the box (ACS_VLINE, ACS_HLINE) are replaced with
characters from the lower ASCII set (3 and Ä). This code works fine under
VT100 terminal settings.

I suppose this may be due to the TERM setting in cygwin, which is 'cygwin'
instead of VT100.

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks

Didier
