This is useful if you want to use dosemu -t to run old #DOS programs in Linux terminals

@howtophil is this actually necessary? I asked on the dosemu2 side: https://github.com/dosemu2/dosemu2/discussions/2823 There is quite a bit of codepage handling inside dosemu itself which I'd expect to handle the conversion between the DOS and terminal code page.

@howtophil LOL, many many moons ago I wrote a program like that to emulate a vt100 so people on Televideo terminals could login to our VAXes. It converted X3.64 to whatever your TERMCAP described.
