Greek Tables for PC-Pine (Code Page 737)
========================================


Use these tables when you work with cp737 fonts on your PC.
Code Page 737 was formerly known as "Code Page 437G".


Table      		Character Mapping

i8859-7.737		iso-8859-7 -> cp737
o8859-7.737		iso-8859-7 <- cp737
identity   		none

ISO-8859-7 = ISO-IR-126 is essentially the same as Windows-1253.


Let's assume that you have Pine and related files in the directory c:\pine.
Then your autoexec.bat should contain the following two lines:
  set iso_to_cp=c:\pine\itable
  set cp_to_iso=c:\pine\otable


(a) To exchange mail in ISO-8859 Greek ("iso-8859-7" or "iso-ir-126")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "iso-8859-7";
    copy the file "i8859-7.737" to "c:\pine\itable";
    copy the file "o8859-7.737" to "c:\pine\otable".

(b) To exchange mail in Code Page 737 ("ibm737" or "cp737")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "ibm737" or "cp737";
    copy the file "identity" to "c:\pine\itable";
    copy the file "identity" to "c:\pine\otable".


You see that you have to copy files again whenever you want another
character mapping. This is ridiculous. Write to <pine@cac.washington.edu>
and suggest that they find a more flexible solution!
