A Canadian user in Quebec

Now consider a Canadian user in Quebec communicating with a SCO UNIX system running in code page 850 to support the charactuers française. While both character sets include support for the French language, they are not identical. The TinyTERM Emulator can be simply configured to meet the needs of this user.

From the Configuration menu, select the Code Page entry. Using the list boxes in the Code Page Settings dialog, select Code Page 850 (Latin 1) for the transmit and receive code pages, and Code Page 863 (Canadian/French) for the Keyboard and Video code pages.

Save the customizations made in the Code Page Settings dialog, and from the Configuration menu, select Fonts. Select a font in the Canadian/French code page, such as the Terminal font included with MS-Windows Canadian/French. The TinyTERM Emulator will now translate between the code page 863 used by the PC and code page 850 used by the SCO UNIX host continuously and transparently. This translation is depicted in Figure 3.
