Latin-3 Tables for PC-Pine (Code Page 853)
==========================================


Use these tables when you work with cp853 fonts on your PC.
Latin-3 covers Albanian, Azerbaijan, Catalan, Esperanto, Finnish, French,
German, Italian, Maltese, Spanish, Turkish.


Table      		Character Mapping

i8859-3.853		iso-8859-3 -> cp853
o8859-3.853		iso-8859-3 <- cp853
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-3 ("iso-8859-3" or "iso-ir-109")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "iso-8859-3";
    copy the file "i8859-3.853" to "c:\pine\itable";
    copy the file "o8859-3.853" to "c:\pine\otable".

(b) To exchange mail in Code Page 853 ("ibm853" or "cp853")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "ibm853" or "cp853";
    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!
