Subject: character translation after transfer?
Date: 6 May 1999 23:21:35 GMT

To: kermit.misc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu
Is it possible to use MSKermit as a filter to translate from one
character set to another after the transfer has finished? I received a
French text file that was written in Latin-1 from a computer that didn't
give me command-line access to it's Kermit program. I couldn't force
the sending computer to set the file type to text, so I have a binary
file that only has the proper characters when I read it with Kermit's
replay command. (I'm using a monochrome adapter that won't let me
change the DOS code page).
Can I use Kermit to rewrite the file so that DOS commands like "more"
and "edit" will show the correct accented characters?
Thanks,
David Stow
