221T (decimal) = $DD = 335O (octal) produces for me in windows
a  pipe-like character that has a tiny break in it,

while the usual pipe char, 124T ($7C = 174O) in windows, appears as a
solid pipe character.

 Now..
In pure MSDOS terms (running an msdos editor in this case),
I get just the opposite appearence from these two values!

where, indeed, ALT0221 does produce a "fat-pipe"

go figure!

now if only the bugs in the GCC library relating to
strupr, strlwr, and toupper, tolower were only fixed.
