operating system is that what the os does with output if it does something
at all (the locale stuff); terminal is that what tex sends to the os
display engine
natural.tcx is the real 8 bit tcx file (not the incorrect cp8bit which is
incomplete)

sure, but esp writes are influenced by the tcx machinery

i have no strong opinions on what goes to the terminal; the log -if
possible- should honor 8 bit (imo)
