makechs - A program that can be used to create additional translation tables for use by JamNNTPd.

       makechs was written by Johan Billing <billing@df.lth.se>.

       This  manual  page  was written by Robert James Clay <jame@rocasa.us>, for the Debian project (but may be
       used by others).

       The  *.chs files in the "xlat" and "unicode/xlat" directories are character set translation tables in the
       GoldED+ format. The files were created from mappings files found at this URL:

       http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/

       Fallback sequences for characters that do not exist in the target charset were taken from Markus Kuhn's
       transliteration tables found at the URL below:

       http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/transtab.tar.gz

       If you want to create additional translation tables, you can easily do so using this utility.

       A summary of options is included below:

       <fromchrs>
              The fidonet name of the charset you want to convert from.

       <destchrs>
              The fidonet name of the charset you want to convert to.

       <frommap>
              The Unicode mappings file for the source charset.

       <destmap>
              The Unicode mappings file for the destination charset.  If  you  don't  supply  a  mappings  file,
              makechs will instead create a chs file that converts the source charset to utf-8.

       The output of makechs is written to the console and needs to be redirected to the desired file.
