Hi Flavio!

06 Jul 2018 13:43, from Flavio Bessa -> All:

 FB> I have recently realized that my GoldED is running under CP866.
 FB> How do I change it to CP850? The golded.cfg is as follows:

I see you are running Linux ... are you sure that you want to change to DOS 
CP850???
I have set up my Linux system as Latin1.

 FB> XLATPATH /Users/flbessa/fido/etc/golded/cfgs/charset/

Sets the path where your translation files are stored.

 FB> XLATLOCALSET KOI8
Specifies the local charset.
This is the charset that golded will display natively.
Normally UTF-8.
But golded does not support it, so you can change it to latin1, and reconfigure 
the terminal for that.

 FB> XLATIMPORT CP866
If a message has no charset kludge, assume it is written with that charset.

 FB> XLATEXPORT CP866
Export your messages in this charset.

 FB> XLATCHARSET KOI8 CP866 koi_866.chs
 FB> XLATCHARSET CP866 KOI8 866_koi.chs
Specifies the translations.
You should have much more than these.
eg cp850 -> latin1
....

I use this script to start golded.

==== Begin "ge"  ====
#!/bin/sh
USERNAME=`whoami` ; T1="root"
if [ "$T1" = "$USERNAME" ]; then
echo  'Please do not run this script as root' ; exit
fi

export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LC_TIME="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LC_MONETARY="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LC_PAPER="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LC_NAME="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LC_ADDRESS="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
export LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-1"

/usr/local/sbin/gedlnx -C/usr/local/etc/golded+/golded.cfg $*
==== End "ge" ====

And this translation config:

XLATPATH /usr/local/etc/golded+/cfgs/charset/
XLATLOCALSET LATIN-1
XLATIMPORT CP850
XLATEXPORT LATIN-1

XlatCharSet  AUTO     LATIN-1        850_i-1.chs

XLATCHARSET CP437 LATIN-1 437_i-1.chs
XLATCHARSET LATIN-1 CP437 i-1_437.chs
XLATCHARSET CP850 LATIN-1 850_iso.chs
XLATCHARSET LATIN-1 CP850 iso_850.chs
XLATCHARSET LATIN-1 LATIN-1 iso_iso.chs

include /usr/local/etc/golded+/charsets.cfg
