+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+cp437 \fBcommand\fP [\fIarg\fP [\fIarg\fP ...]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+cp437 is a program to emulate an old\-style "code page 437" / "IBM\-PC"
+character set terminal on a modern terminal emulator that uses UTF\-8
+or similar.
+.sp
+It was written for the purpose of running the BitchX IRC client, which utilises
+CP437 line\-drawing characters in its default theme and artwork. It should
+also be broadly useful for things like viewing CP437 "ANSI art", running
+nethack with the IBMgraphics option or running EPIC with scripts that use CP437
+artwork.
+.sp
+It takes no command line options. The only arguments are the command to run
+and its arguments (if any).
+.sp
+You\(aqll need to have your LANG or LC_CTYPE environment variable
+set up to match the character set used by your terminal
+emulator. On Slackware, this can be done system\-wide by editing
+\fB/etc/profile.d/lang.sh\fP, or by editing your shell\(aqs startup scripts
+(e.g. \fB~/.bash_profile\fP).
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.sp
+Just run cp437 followed by the command and argument you want to run:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+cp437 BitchX irc.efnet.org
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+To convert a text file from codepage 437, you might try:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+cp437 cat orig.txt > converted.txt
