Isotty Description

Isotty application is a GUI to the tty character encoding translation in GNU screen. Isotty application is a GUI to the tty character encoding translation in GNU screen.Here are some key features of "Isotty":· sets locale environment to the emulated encoding.· checks for terminal multibyte encoding support and configures locale for GNU Screen accordingly.· one script per encoding - no options :)· Does not open a new window inside a running screen.Following scripts corresponds to each encoding:big5tty - Big5cp1251tty - CP1251euccntty - eucCNeucjptty - eucJPeuckrtty - eucKRgbktty - GBKiso2tty - ISO8859-2iso3tty - ISO8859-3iso4tty - ISO8859-4iso5tty - ISO8859-5iso6tty - ISO8859-6iso7tty - ISO8859-7iso8tty - ISO8859-8iso9tty - ISO8859-9iso10tty - ISO8859-10isotty - ISO8859-15jistty - JISkoi8rtty - KOI-8Rsjistty - Shift-JISutf8tty - UTF-8Usage:Each utility named *tty corresponds to one encoding. Use eg. isotty --help to see which encoding is converted.Isotty does not have any options (besides --help and -h which should be fairly obvious). Any appended strings are interpreted as a command and its options. Without options, isotty starts a shell.Encoding fallback occurs automaticly and changes locale as specified below:1. When multibyte encoding is detected while locale is set to singlebyte encoding:· Fallback to UTF-8· Fallback value can be changed by setting the DEFMULTIENC environment variable.2. When singlebyte encoding is detected while locale is set to mulitbyte encoding:· Fallback to ISO8859-15· Fallback value can be changed by setting the DEFENC environment variable.Installation:Isotty needs a bourne / korn / posix shell, GNU screen, and target character encodings present on the host system.Copy the appropriate utility to a location within your path, eg /usr/local/bin/ Note that Isotty is distributed as hardlinks - it's the same script.What's New in This Release:· Isotty is now able to auto-detect EUC encodings, Big5, and UHC.· Fallback encoding can now be set via the commandline.· There have been some locale fixes.
