NAME
re - programm to conver russian texts between different encodings
SYNOPSIS
re <infile><outfile><infrmt><outfrmt><f|b|s><u|l|s>
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution be-
cause the original program does not have a manual page.
re is a program that converts russian texts between encodings.
OPTIONS
The easiest way to convert some file into readable form (KOI-8), just
type this:
re <SourceFile> <DestFile> ? K
where :
<SourceFile> - unreadable file
<DestFile> - resulting file
? - tells RE that source codepage is unknown and RE should
analyze the file and determine the source codepage
K - tells RE that destination codepage is KOI-8
Note: If you know, what is source codepage, it is better to use it in-
stead of "?" option. For example, you want to convert letter.txt file
which was written in Win you know, that this file is in 1251 codepage:
re letter.txt letter2.txt W K
Now examine the letter2.txt - you should see russian symbols in KOI-8.
Here is the know codepages list and their abbreviatures:
W - Windows 1251 "_" - _xxe
D - Dos "%" - %hex
K - KOI-8 "\\" - \'hex
L - Latin G - Graph_win
I - Iso "<" - <binhex>
H - HEX + - +UTF7-
S - ShiftKbrd C - C_MIC
M - Mac Y - Y_c16
A - AFF Z - Z_c32
O - Odd(UTF8_1) F - F(UTF8_2)
B - Base64 P - Pict
E - Express N - N_Estl
T - T-Html V - V_Vpp855
U - User X - X_sp
"-" - uue J - J_diff
Other options are: [-v][-E|-R|-N][-e|-s]
-v - tells what is processing
-n - don't tells what is processing (default)
-E - converts all p,H from Russian to English
-R - converts all p,H from English to Russian
-N - lets all p,H Russian or English as in text (default)
-e - converts all symbols 0x80 - 0xFF, autodetection is weaker
-s - converts only 64 symbols of Russian Alphabet, except '0401'
(default)
