It transliterates +between different alphabet representations of different languages. + +It is frequently necessary to convert from one representation to another +representation of the foreign alphabet. E.g., in the Library of Congress +transliteration, the Russian letter sha is transliterated as two Latin +letters "sh" while the popular word processors use a code 232 (decimal), +the RELCOM network uses a code 221, and the KOI7 set uses character "[" +for the same letter. So if your screen driver, printer, word processor, +etc. uses different codes than the text file which you have, you need to +transliterate. + +The TRANSLIT program is a powerful tool for such tasks. It converts an input +file in one representation to the output file in another representation using +appropriate, user defined, transliteration table. Transliteration table allows +for very elaborate transliteration tasks and includes provisions for plain +character sequences, character lists, regular expressions (flexible matches), +SHIFT-OUT/IN sequences and more. The program comes with documentation and +examples of popular transliteration schemes. The Russian language serves +as an example. Other files will be added with your collaboration. + +How to get the program? + +First, retrieve file: readme.doc --- it describes the files in the program +distribution and has detailed instructions on how to obtain the program. + +Via FTP (if you are on Internet): +--------------------------------- + ftp kekule.osc.edu (or ftp 128.146.36.48) + Login: anonymous + Password: Your_email_address (Please...) + ftp> ascii + ftp> cd pub/russian/translit + ftp> get readme.doc + ftp> quit + +Via E-mail: +----------- + Send message: + send translit/readme.doc from russian + to OSCPOST@osc.edu or OSCPOST@OHSTPY.BITNET.
