  With single line (└┘┌┐─│├┤┬┴┼) and double line (╣║╗╝╚╔╩╦╠═╬) - many
codepages, CP852 for sure.

  With corners/crosses where single and double lines meet (╖╘╡╢╕╜╛╞╟
╧╨╤╥╙╘╒╓╫╪) - I know only one: CP437.
  
  But I can't have both - Polish letters and all those line chars, so I
can't do this fancy frame from first post with Polish strings inside. There
will be simpler version instead.
