Are you saying that Terminal.app (a program I avoid by the way, since the VT100
emulation is buggy) do not pass all values? How are you using it, by the way?
Selected some arabic language on your MAC, running the terminal, typing in there, and in
the terminal you have telnetted to some VMS box.
Yes, essentially, Terminal.app will not accept Arabic letter input but displays Arabic
text (incorrectly, without ligatures).
I've tried this both locally, over SSH and Telnet.
Again, I don't think this is a VMS issue.
In this case, I think it is not. But I think you can pretty much expect there to be
situations where it will break for you because VMS do not really work correctly with
UTF-8. Your best chance, if you really want to do UTF-8 would be to write your own program
to output the file.
The same might also be true for input.
As for why I like Terminal.app? I dunno, got used to it I guess in the last 8 years, not
really come across too many bugs that bothered me..
I am playing around with iTerm as well at the moment though.
Tried it. It also have bugs.
What do you use as a terminal client on OS X?
xterm
