       re - programm to conver russian texts between different encodings

SYNOPSIS

       re <infile><outfile><infrmt><outfrmt><f|b|s><u|l|s>

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page.

       re is a program that converts russian texts between encodings.

OPTIONS

       The easiest way to convert some file into readable form (KOI-8), just type this:

       re <SourceFile> <DestFile> ? K

       where :

       <SourceFile> - unreadable file

       <DestFile>   - resulting file

       ?            - tells RE that source codepage is unknown and RE should analyze the file and
       determine the source codepage

       K            - tells RE that destination codepage is KOI-8

       Note:  If  you  know,  what  is source codepage, you may use it instead of "?" option. For
       example, you want to convert letter.txt file which was written in Win you know, that  this
       file is in 1251 codepage:

           re letter.txt letter2.txt W K

       Now examine the letter2.txt - you should see russian symbols in KOI-8.

       Here is the know codepages list and their abbreviatures:
           W   - Windows 1251    "_"  - _xxe
           D   - Dos             "%"  - %hex
           K   - KOI-8           "\\" - \'hex
           L   - Latin            G   - Graph_win
           I   - Iso             "<"  - <binhex>
           H   - HEX              +   - +UTF7-
           S   - ShiftKbrd        C   - C_MIC
           M   - Mac              Y   - Y_c16
           A   - AFF              Z   - Z_c32
           O   - Odd(UTF8_1)      F   - F(UTF8_2)
           B   - Base64           P   - Pict
           E   - Express          N   - N_Estl
           T   - T-Html           V   - V_Vpp855
           U   - User             X   - X_sp
           "-" - uue              J   - J_diff

       Other options are: [-v][-E|-R|-N][-e|-s]
            -v - tells what is processing
            -n - don't tells what is processing (default)
            -E - converts all p,H from Russian to English
            -R - converts all p,H from English to Russian
            -N - lets all p,H Russian or English as in text (default)
            -e - converts all symbols 0x80 - 0xFF
            -s    -    converts    only    64    symbols    of    Russian    Alphabet   (default)
