Subj : CP437 display in door via stdout

Very niche question, but I'm working on my first door game -- using Go
(Golang) and utilizing stdin/stdout -- which makes it relatively easy to
handle the comms part.

BUT I'm trying to display an ansi file (e.g. IBM cp437 encoding) and it
displays the colors properly, but not the extended characters. 

I'm using an encoding function on each byte to translate, but when running
from the BBS it's gibberish. However, when I run via console locally --
it's perfect.

(for the encoding part, it's a simple conversion to the actual escape
character sequence, e.g. '\u006A')

Not sure if any door authors here have any tips, but thought I'd ask :)

Cheers,
