Subject: kermit & suns: reading french accents?
Summary:
Followup-To:
Distribution: world
Organization: Netcom On-Line Services
Keywords:
If I download a file containing eg french, onto
my sun with solaris, and "more" the file, I can
see the accents fine; they display above the
chars, just the way you'd like.
But when logged into shell account on netcom,
and do the "more" THERE, or read mail (via unix
"mail" prog), or read a web page via lynx,
those chars do NOT show up on my screen --
it looks like misspelled french.
(Oh, the download works ok because I tar
and gz it, and use -i, I suppose that's why)
Anyway, what do I set to be able to SEE the
french, WHILE logged in into netcom shell acct:
1: on the local computer (solaris -- probably already
set ok, since "more" here works ok),
2: for KERMIT, which I use to dial into netcom,
3: and for the foreign computer, netcom's
sparcstations running sunos 4.x.
I grew up with 7bit ascii, clearly know
nothing of this new 8bit stuff, and
haven't a clue about the settings.
THANKS!
