Throughout my programming I frequently use horizontal lines, 
vertical lines, and right and left corner pieces. As I 
understand it these are known as extended character codes.  In 
my old PowerC for DOS I would feed a functions they wrote, 
writechs(), hexadecimal numbers - 
Hbar[0] =  (char) 0xCD;      
	Hbar[1] = '\0';
Vbar[0] =  (char) 0xBA;  
	Vbar[1] = '\0';
ULcor[0] = (char) 0xC9;
	ULcor[1] = '\0';
URcor[0] = (char) 0xBB;
	URcor[1] = '\0';
LLcor[0] = (char) 0xC8;
      LLcor[1] = '\0';
LRcor[0] = (char) 0xBC;
      LRcor[1] = '\0';

Other charts I have list -
Hbar =  196
Vbar =  179
ULcor = 218
URcor = 169
LLcor  = 192
LRcor  = 217

.. . . and it does somesort of conversion and prints them in 
color. 

FORGET COLOR FOR THE MEANTIME, I CAN’T EVEN PRINT THESE IN 
BLACK AND WHITE. I can’t convert them properly. Please help me.
