I am attempting to use a PC --> C-Kermit --> PC upload/download to
translate a file with code page 437 characters to one with a Macintosh
character set. Two different C-Kermit(189) installations to which I have access
include macintosh-latin as a file character set [set file char ?], but when I
"set file char mac", "sho file" reports the character set as dg-international.
One machine is running DEC-VMS; the other DEC-OSF/1-Unix. The idea is to
translate the file on the upload to mac-speak, then download it with a
transparent transfer mode.
The C-Kermit manual indicates that the dg-intl character set is quite
different from the macintosh set. Can anyone explain or provide a solution?
