Yes, ex reads and displays ALT characters,
while exw (compiled by WATCOM)
cannot read or display them in a console window,
although exw *can* read them
in a normal Windows GUI (e.g. Win32Lib) window.
When I translate your example to C and compile with Lcc or Borland,
then the program *can* read and display the ALT characters
in the Windows console window.
As Igor Kachan already stated, the problem lies in the WATCOM
runtime library for Windows.
