@retrotechtive Yeah, I get what you’re trying to accomplish. I thought maybe some #RetroComupting folk would being triggered by the bare chassis of classic hardware or something.
Maybe just hashtag the posts so people can mute if required?

Yet another revision, #dos2ansi v1.6.3
https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v1.6.3--- brings yet another subtle bugfix in #showansi: To set the title with an escape sequence, it uses "printf %b" with its \-notation for control characters, so literal backslashes in the title must be escaped as well 🙈
Apart from that, added nice "portability bikeshed":
- Removed the dependency on 'sed' again, quoting/escaping strings for 'eval' *can* be done in pure #POSIX #shell script.
- Added proper detection of the POSIX shell to my #zimk build system, along with variables to override the choice. Used that to generate the shebang for #dos2ansi. Really an awesome way to write /bin/sh without writing /bin/sh 😂 (rumors say there *are* POSIX systems with the compliant shell in a different path ...)

And now there's even #dos2ansi v1.6.2: https://github.com/Zirias/dos2ansi/releases/tag/v1.6.2
The good thing is: The issues I'm fixing here are getting more and more obscure 😂
First I noticed #xterm doesn't accept all #utf8 for its '-title' option, no matter what. But it *does* support the escape sequence to set a title, so, why not use this instead.
Having added support for that (and also optionally for setting the window size using an escape sequence), I had a look at quoting again. Indeed, #showansi failed for e.g. file names containing #shell special characters.
Therefore added a *safe* quote function. The downside is, it requires #sed now. Well ....
Screenshot shows both improvements, I picked a "maximum weird" file name and used a file that has an 'ö' in its title 🥳 -- in the showansi debugging output, you can see the quoting in action 🤯
