Windows 95 Japanese Edition does not and will not support keisen (ruled
line) character attributes for the SetConsoleTextAttribute API. Keisen are
incorporated into Windows NT for OS/2-J console applications compatibility.

These attributes are designed for IBM-J's local video display adapter's
hardware attribute sets.

The include file Wincon.h includes the keisen attribute settings for
lead/trail byte, reverse fore/back ground, overline/underline, left and
right line. However, these attributes are ignored by the Windows 95
implementation of SetConsoleTextAttribute.

  #define COMMON_LVB_LEADING_BYTE    0x0100 // Leading Byte of DBCS
  #define COMMON_LVB_TRAILING_BYTE   0x0200 // Tlailing Byte of DBCS
  #define COMMON_LVB_GRID_HORIZONTAL 0x0400 // DBCS: Grid attribute: top
                                            // horizontal.
  #define COMMON_LVB_GRID_LVERTICAL  0x0800 // DBCS: Grid attribute: left
                                            // vertical.
  #define COMMON_LVB_GRID_RVERTICAL  0x1000 // DBCS: Grid attribute: right
                                            // vertical.
  #define COMMON_LVB_REVERSE_VIDEO   0x4000 // DBCS: Reverse fore/back
                                            // ground attribute.
  #define COMMON_LVB_UNDERSCORE      0x8000 // DBCS: Underscore.
