hztty
|
|
|
|
This program turns a tty session from one encoding to another.
|
|
For example, running hztty on cxterm can allow you to read/write
|
|
Chinese in HZ format, which was not supported by cxterm.
|
|
If you have many applications in different encodings but your
|
|
favorite terminal program only supports one, hztty can make life easy.
|
|
For example, hztty can your GB cxterm into a HZ terminal, a
|
|
Unicode (16bit, or UTF8, or UTF7) terminal, or a Big5 terminal.
|
|
|
|
The idea is to open a new shell session on top of the current one
|
|
and to translate the encoding between the new tty and the orignal.
|
|
For example, if your application uses encoding A and your terminal
|
|
supports encoding B, hztty catches the output of the application
|
|
and converts them from A to B before sending to the terminal.
|
|
Similarly, hztty converts all the terminal input from B to A before
|
|
sending to the application.
