Latin-5 Tables for PC-Pine (Code Page 857)
==========================================


Use these tables when you work with cp857 fonts on your PC.
Latin-5 covers Albanian, Azerbaijan, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Finnish,
French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.


Table      		Character Mapping

i8859-9.857		iso-8859-9 -> cp857
o8859-9.857		iso-8859-9 <- cp857
identity   		none

ISO-8859-9 = ISO-IR-148 is essentially the same as Windows-1254.


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-5 ("iso-8859-9" or "iso-ir-148")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "iso-8859-9";
    copy the file "i8859-9.857" to "c:\pine\itable";
    copy the file "o8859-9.857" to "c:\pine\otable".

(b) To exchange mail in Code Page 857 ("ibm857" or "cp857")

    In your Pine configuration, define character-set as "ibm857" or "cp857";
    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!
