- hztty
-
- This program turns a tty session from one encoding to another.
- For example, running hztty on cxterm can allow you to read/write
- Chinese in HZ format, which was not supported by cxterm.
- If you have many applications in different encodings but your
- favorite terminal program only supports one, hztty can make life easy.
- For example, hztty can your GB cxterm into a HZ terminal, a
- Unicode (16bit, or UTF8, or UTF7) terminal, or a Big5 terminal.
-
- The idea is to open a new shell session on top of the current one
- and to translate the encoding between the new tty and the orignal.
- For example, if your application uses encoding A and your terminal
- supports encoding B, hztty catches the output of the application
- and converts them from A to B before sending to the terminal.
- Similarly, hztty converts all the terminal input from B to A before
- sending to the application.
