cp437 (emulate code page 437 on a UTF-8 terminal)
|
|
|
|
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's also useful for converting old CP437-encoded text files to UTF-8.
