If you want stty to unset the istrip flag and change to cs8 it will do so happily (stty pass8 will do). But it seems that as soon as a program accessing the tty is called (e.g. vi, more, less) the settings revert back to cs7 and istrip! If I remember correctly there used to be a patch on tty_ring.c that would allow a fix on that problem but it never made the patchkit. Could someone supply some feedback on that problem?
