Can we talk about this on Skype? It seems simple to me but maybe I'm wrong
somehow.

Hello,
In fact utd2brf.c did not really need modifying to work with the boxline style,
the issue of the characters not appearing was due to me not inserting them
correctly into the UTD (I forgot to convert the character into dots).
However we still have the outstanding issue of the placement of the boxlines. I
think I need further explanation of how the UTD functions for begin and finish
newline work. Also we must decide where the newline nodes should appear in UTD.
