- Usage: SET TRANSLATION <character translation table>
- The TRANSLATION variable defines a character translation
- table. By default, ircII assumes that all text processed
- over the network is in the ISO 8859/1 map, also known as
- Latin-1. This is identical to standard ASCII, except that
- it is extended with additional characters in the range
- 128-255. Many environments by default use the Latin-1 map,
- such as X Windows, MS Windows, AmigaDOS, and modern ANSI
- terminals including Digital VT200, VT300, VT400 series and
- MS-Kermit. However, many older environments use non-standard
- extensions to ASCII, and yet others use 7-bit national
- replacement sets.
-
- Some available settings for the TRANSLATION variable:
-
- 8-bit sets:
- LATIN_1 ISO 8859/1. Default.
- HP_MCS Hewlett Packard Extended Roman 8.
- MACINTOSH Apple Macintosh computers and boat
- anchors.
- CP437 Old IBM PC, compatibles and Atari ST.
- CP850 New IBM PC compatibles and IBM PS/2.
- DEC_MCS DEC Multinational Character Set.
- VAX/VMS. VT320's and other 8-bit
- Digital terminals use this set by
- default, but I recommend changing to
- Latin-1 in the terminal Set-Up.
- DG_MCS Data General Multinational Character Set.
- NEXT NeXT.
-
