1. Overview
============
The sample program in this directory demonstrates the use of the iconv
family of functions. These functions are used to convert between different
code sets.
2. Files in this directory
===========================
File Purpose
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
convert.c Source code for the convert sample program.
convert.def Definition file needed for compiling the program.
makefile Make file used to compile the sample.
convert.exe Compiled version of the convert sample.
build.cmd A command file which will compile and link the sample program.
850.txt Test data of IBM-850 text.
read.me This file.
3. How to run the sample program
=================================
The following steps show how the program can be run.
1) Execute the convert.exe program with the appropriate arguments.
The synteax is:
convert FROM_CODE_PAGE TO_CODE_PAGE
It reads from standard input and writes to standard output.
The following example converts from IBM-850 to an EBCDIC code set:
convert IBM-850 IBM-037 < 850.txt > 037.txt
4. How to compile the sample program
=====================================
NOTE: The sample program is already compiled for you. If you want to see the
behavior of the program, you can just run it. The following instructions
are needed only if you want to modify the program and recompile it.
To compile the sample application:
1) Make sure that the CSET compiler and OS/2 toolkit are installed
correctly on your system.
2) cd to the directory which contains the info source files.
3) Type "build" at the command prompt.
