Hello All!

Let's say I have compiled a new version of GoldED. Currently I have two groups 
(Group A and Group B).

My setup is:

 OS uses UTF-8

 GoldED is started through luit using, for example, a standard ISO charset

 Groups A and B use XLATCHARSET for conversion between the OS charset and a 
non-standard charset

As I understand it, luit should no longer be necessary.How should I configure
the new GoldED while remaining fully compatible with my existing setup?Ideally, 
I would like to:

 Use iconv-based charset conversion for most groups.

 Keep some groups using the existing OS non-standard charset conversion 
(including kludge lines).

I have checked the available documentation (for example, the documentation 
bundled with the GoldED binaries), but I still see references to the old 
approach involving luit and related settings.

Could someone explain the recommended way to configure this in current GoldED 
versions?

Karel
