SYNOPSIS

||
|
|
========

|
|
||
|
|
cp437 **command** [*arg* [*arg* ...]]

|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cp437 is a program to emulate an old-style "code page 437" / "IBM-PC"
|
||
|
|
character set terminal on a modern terminal emulator that uses UTF-8
|
||
|
|
or similar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It was written for the purpose of running the BitchX IRC client, which utilises
|
||
|
|
CP437 line-drawing characters in its default theme and artwork. It should
|
||
|
|
also be broadly useful for things like viewing CP437 "ANSI art", running
|
||
|
|
nethack with the IBMgraphics option or running EPIC with scripts that use CP437
|
||
|
|
artwork.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It takes no command line options. The only arguments are the command to run
|
||
|
|
and its arguments (if any).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll need to have your LANG or LC_CTYPE environment variable
|
||
|
|
set up to match the character set used by your terminal
|
||
|
|
emulator. On Slackware, this can be done system-wide by editing
|
||
|
|
**/etc/profile.d/lang.sh**, or by editing your shell's startup scripts
|
||
|
|
(e.g. **~/.bash_profile**).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
||
|
|
========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just run cp437 followed by the command and argument you want to run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cp437 BitchX irc.efnet.org
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To convert a text file from codepage 437, you might try:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cp437 cat orig.txt > converted.txt
|
||
