- Yes, it supports greek already, that is ISO 8859-7 a.k.a.
- ELOT 928 - 8 bit greek. So if you use terminals both places
- that supports this you have no problem.
- If you run on an IBM PC there is support
- for displaying the greek chars in this charset.
- If you use plain ASCII you can have it displayed in a identifiable and
- somewhat mnemonic form, like a*b* for alfa beta.
- If you reply on this, you can generate answers which will be presented
- correctly on the receiver's terminal.
-
- There are similar provisions implemented for cyrillic, arabic and hebrew.
