On a related issue - is there any means to switch charsets (for all sorts of screen printing), and this, back-&-forth "on the fly" ? At least, in text/console mode ?
REM: most "garbled" screen presentation of text has the simple cause in different charsets employed, sepectively, (a.) in the (txt) file, (b.) for the system/screen char setting to present it. (This concerns 8-bit charsets, and there, the full-8-bit range; most frequent is the problem of "text" from a Windows-machine - the M$-declaration of "ISO-8859-1" is false, it does _not_ comply - read on any other, _including_ those with correct ISO-8859-1 charsets set.) Remapping could (and _should_, IMO) be an easy thing, with switching to the right charset with reading/screen-printing that one piece (and then switching back to the generally used charset). // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2002-09-27 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
