Encoding converter for texts in Russian language
Up to 14 different encodings are used to represent texts in Russian language (koi-7, koi-8r, cp866, cp1251, cp10007, utf-8, ...)! This program can perform conversion between them. It also can produce Unicode names for the symbol codes.
It shows the unicodes that cannot be converted. It allows to put two types of substitutions for the inconvertible signs. It may be a unicode number or a similar sign.
This program may also be used for transliteration (reversible substitution Cyrillic letters by Latin ones). Transliteration is the only way to make deal with Russian texts on the system without Cyrillic fonts. RUCNV knows two types of transliteration: GOST 7.79-2000 and KOI-7 based.
RUCNV may be used for conversion any Russian or Unicode texts into the form which will be accepted by any 8-bit text editor and for followed backward conversion.

's' ('u') makes (unicode) substitutions for missing characters
codings:
0: Unicode (UCS-2 Little Endian) 1: UTF-8
2: Koi8-r 3: CP866 (MS-DOS)
4: ISO 8859-5 5: CP1251 (Microsoft Windows)
6: Macintosh Cyrillic (CP10007) 7: Modified Alternative (MS-DOS)
8: Alternative (MS-DOS) 9: Main (MS-DOS)
A: Bulgarian, MIC, Interprog (MS-DOS) B: Koi-8
C: Koi-7 D: Transliteration (Koi-7 based)
E: Transliteration (GOST 7.79-2000) F: Unicode Names
G: UTF-16BE
Examples:
rucnv 52s wintext.txt lintext.txt
rucnv 31 dostext.txt utf8text.txt
rucnv 12u utf8text.txt koi8rtext.txt
rucnv 50u wintext.txt ucs2text.txt
You need C++ compiler and C++ Standard Library.
The simplest way to make this program is:
- Edit makefile to set correct MANDIR and BINDIR for your system.
- Type `make' to compile the program.
- Type `make install' to install the program and documentation.
The simplest way to make this with DELORIE DJGPP V2 system for C/C++ (http://www.delorie.com) program is:
- Type
gxx -o rucnv.exe rucnv.cpp -lstdcxxto get the executable file. - Type
strip rucnv.exeto remove symbols from file. - Type
exe2coff rucnv.exeand thencopy /b [dir for djgpp]\bin\cwsdstub.exe + rucnv rucnv.exeto get the executable file independent from DJGPP system.
Steps 2 and 3 are optional.
You may use rucnv with the same filenames for input and output.
Please write me if you have trouble running rucnv, or if you have suggestions or patches.
