Latin-2 Tables for PC-Pine (Code Page 852)
==========================================


Use these tables when you work with cp852 fonts on your PC.
Latin-2 covers Albanian, Croatian, Czech, Finnish, German, Hungarian,
Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Sorbian.


Table       		Character Mapping

i8859-2 .852		iso-8859-2   -> cp852
o8859-2 .852		iso-8859-2   <- cp852
iwin1250.852		windows-1250 -> cp852
owin1250.852		windows-1250 <- cp852
identity    		none


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 Latin-2 ("iso-8859-2" or "iso-ir-101")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "iso-8859-2";
    copy the file "i8859-2.852" to "c:\pine\itable";
    copy the file "o8859-2.852" to "c:\pine\otable".

(b) To exchange mail in Windows Latin-2 ("windows-1250")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "windows-1250";
    copy the file "iwin1250.852" to "c:\pine\itable";
    copy the file "owin1250.852" to "c:\pine\otable".

(c) To exchange mail in Code Page 852 ("ibm852" or "cp852")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "ibm852" or "cp852";
    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!
