Cyrillic and Latin-2 Tables for PC-Pine (Windows)
=================================================
v. 1.0


This is a collection of mapping tables for PC-Pine (Windows).
[MS-DOS mapping tables: SimTel/msdos/network/pinetad1.zip]
They are freeware and are freely distributable.

These tables allow you to use other character sets in your mail and news
messages than on your PC. For example, you might use Code Page 1250
on your PC but send and receive messages in ISO-8859-2.


Languages covered:
Belarussian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian;
Albanian, Croatian, Czech, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian,
Slovak, Slovenian, Sorbian.

Character sets covered:
ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-5, ISO-IR-111 = KOI-8 (Unix);
Windows-1250, Windows-1251 (MS Windows).


Let's assume that you have Pine and related files in the directory c:\pine.
Then write the following two lines into your autoexec.bat and reboot:
  set iso_to_cp=c:\pine\itable
  set cp_to_iso=c:\pine\otable

For further steps, see the readme files in the respective directories,
cyrillic and latin-2.
