- I am using Unix SystemVR4, and want to find a way to generate the
- extended ASCII chars from the keyboard. The reason for this is
- to generate the appropriate foreign characters (such as the vowels
- with the accents, etc) needed in the various different languages
- (specifically French, German and other European languages).
-
- I first thought it could be done somehow with the LOCALE stuff
- in Unix, setlocale(), chrtbl(), etc. But the man pages don't go
- into how to generate or translate these characters.
-
- If anyone has any idea how to do this sort of thing, please
- e-mail me at sbarnhar@ncratl.AtlantaGA.NCR.COM, or post a reply.
- I would really appreciate any help in this area.
