Message   Richard Menedetter    Flavio Bessa   Changing from CP866 to CP850   September 22, 2017
 10:28 PM *  

Hi Flavio!

20 Sep 2017 09:27, from Flavio Bessa -> All:

 FB> XLATLOCALSET KOI8

This is the charset that you use locally (on your computer).
Eg LATIN-1

 FB> XLATIMPORT CP866

This is the charset that Golded will assume a message is written in if the
message does not specify which charset it used. (eg. no chrs kludge)
Eg LATIN-1 or CP437 or CP850

 FB> XLATEXPORT CP866

What charset should be used for sending out messages.
Eg LATIN-1

 FB> XLATCHARSET KOI8 CP866 koi_866.chs

Here you add the translation files in the above case from koi to 866.

 FB>         I understand I should replace CP866 for CP850, but what should
 FB> I put at XLATLOCALSET? and I saw at the .chs directory that there's a
 FB> ton of cp850-related files...

CP850 is DOS latin-1.
Are you sure you want to use that?
Eg. are you using a DOS system configured to CP850?
All modern operating systems use UTF-8, sadly Golded does not really support
it, and most fido SW is not able to show it correctly, so the next best choice
is to configure the terminal to use iso-8859-1 (LATIN-1 in fido speak).
That is what I do here on Linux.

CU, Ricsi
