   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
