Why doesn't my Dialog Screenset display properly on Linix?

Problem:

I have migrated my screenset from Windows onto RedHat Linux, and it doesn't display correctly, but it looks fine on AIX.  What is the problem?

Resolution:

The problem was that the customer was using the LANG default of en_US.UTF-8.  Unfortunately, character-based Dialog System does not support Unicode, so the colours are displayed incorrectly.  Changing the LANG setting to en_US enabled the screen to display correctly.
