(recode.info)AtariST
Atari ST code
=============
This charset is available in `recode' under the name `AtariST'.
This is the character set used on the Atari ST/TT/Falcon. This is
similar to `IBM-PC', but differs in some details: it includes some more
accented characters, the graphic characters are mostly replaced by
Hebrew characters, and there is a true German `sharp s' different from
Greek `beta'.
About the end-of-line conversions: the canonical end-of-line on the
Atari is `\r\n', but unlike `IBM-PC', the OS makes no difference
between text and binary input/output; it is up to the application how
to interpret the data. In fact, most of the libraries that come with
compilers can grok both `\r\n' and `\n' as end of lines. Many of the
users who also have access to Unix systems prefer `\n' to ease porting
Unix utilities. So, for easing reversibility, `recode' tries to let
`\r' undisturbed through recodings.
