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 +.UNINDENT +.UNINDENT +.SH COPYRIGHT +.sp +See the file /usr/doc/cp437\-0.6/COPYRIGHT for license information. +.SH AUTHORS +.sp +cp437 was written by Kevin Easton. +.sp +This man page written for the SlackBuilds.org project +by B.
