Greek Tables for PC-Pine (Code Page 869)
========================================


Use these tables when you work with cp869 fonts on your PC.


Table      		Character Mapping

i8859-7.869		iso-8859-7 -> cp869
o8859-7.869		iso-8859-7 <- cp869
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 "i8859-7.869" to "c:\pine\itable";
    copy the file "o8859-7.869" to "c:\pine\otable".

(b) To exchange mail in Code Page 869 ("ibm869" or "cp869")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "ibm869" or "cp869";
    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!
