DESCRIPTION

       tconv  is a code converter to do code conversion from CCDC/Big5/EUC-CNS(locale: zh_TW.ccdc/zh_TW.big5/zh_TW.eucTW) internal code to another
       local Taiwanese 2-byte or 3-byte Traditional-Chinese internal code, or to Unicode in UCS2 or UTF8 format; as well the  conversion  of  Big5
       code(Traditional-Chinese) to GB code(Simplified-Chinese) (locale:zh_CN.hp15CN) or GBK code.

       It provides fourteen processing modes.

       Mode (1) : tconv

       The  first  one	is  an interactive menu mode. Just invoke the command.	   It will display the main menu, and prompt you for which kind of
       code conversion you need(whether it is between 2-byte and 2-byte, 3-byte and 2-byte, 4-byte and 2-byte, Traditional-Chinese code  and  Sim-
       plified-Chinese	code  or even Unicode).  After you choose, if it's 2-byte and 2-byte, it will display the 2-byte code code conversion sub-
       menu and prompt you what type of code conversion you need and then ask you your input filename and output filename.   If  it's  3-byte  and
       2-byte,	it  will  show	the  usage of it and ends. If it's 4-byte and 2-byte, it will display the 4-byte code code conversion sub-menu and
       prompt you what type of code conversion you need and then ask you your input filename and output filename. And then, if	it's  Traditional-
       Chinese and Simplified-Chinese, it will display the Traditional-Chinese and Simplified-Chinese code code-conversion sub-menu and prompt you
       what type of code conversion you need and then ask you your input filename and output filename. Finally, if it is Unicode, it will  display
       the Unicode code conversion sub-menu and prompt you what type of code conversion you need and then ask you your input and output filenames.

       Mode (2) : tconv 1

       The second is also a menu mode. If you invoke the command. It will go directly to the 2-byte code code conversion sub-menu.

       Mode (3) : tconv 1 num infile outfile

       The  third  is  used  to  convert one 2-byte code text file to another code type text file in command mode. The infile stands for the input
       filename, outfile for output filename. And num is the selection number you can find out from  the  interactive  menu  mode.  Below  is  the
       description of them :

       num = 1 : From HP Big5 code to IBM 5550 code.
	     2 : From HP Big5 code to CDC code.
	     3 : From HP Big5 code to National Standard code.
	     4 : From HP Big5 code to HP CCDC code.
	     5 : From HP Big5 code to Shift-Big5 code.
	     6 : From HP Big5 code to Taipei Computer Association code.
	     7 : From HP Big5 code to Tien-Lon code.
	     8 : From HP CCDC code to IBM 5550 code.
	     9 : From HP CCDC code to ETen code.
	    10 : From HP CCDC code to National Standard code.
	    11 : From HP CCDC code to Shift-Big5 code.
	    12 : From HP CCDC code to Taipei Computer Association code.
	    13 : From HP CCDC code to HP VECTRA PC code.
	    14 : From HP CCDC code to 2-byte WANG PC code.
	    15 : From Tandem internal code to HP CCDC code.
	    16 : From IBM 5550 code to HP Big5 code.
	    17 : From CDC code to HP Big5 code.
	    18 : From National Standard code to HP Big5 code.
	    19 : From HP CCDC code to HP Big5 code.
	    20 : From Shift-Big5 code to HP Big5 code.
	    21 : From Taipei Computer Assocoation code to HP Big5 code.
	    22 : From Tien-Lon code to HP Big5 code.
	    23 : From IBM 5550 code to HP CCDC code.
	    24 : From ETen code to HP CCDC code.
	    25 : From National Standard code to HP CCDC code.
	    26 : From Shift-Big5 code to HP CCDC code.
	    27 : From Taipei Computer Association code to HP CCDC code.
	    28 : From HP VECTRA PC code to HP CCDC code.
	    29 : From 2-byte WANG PC code to HP CCDC code.
	    30 : From HP CCDC code to Tandem internal code.

       Mode (4) : tconv 1 -n num -f file_of_namelist

       The  fourth  is	used to convert many files with one tconv 1 command. You have to create a file with all the filenames you want to convert.
       Let the file name be file_of_namelist , and the format of the file is :

	   <file1>
	   <file2>
	   <file3>
	   .
	   .
	   .
	   <EOF>

       Then use the command to convert all those files in batch mode. Also, same as Mode (3), num is the selection number you can  find  from  the
       interactive  menu  mode.  Notice  that you can only do one kind of conversion to all the files in file_of_namelist , and there is no output
       filenames, all the files will be put into original file names which you specify in file_of_namelist.

       Mode (5) :
	      tconv 2 [-r] [-ps] [-rs number] -m method -i infile -o outfile

	      The fifth is the command tconv 2 , it is for code conversion between WANG's 3-byte internal code and HP's CCDC or Big5 code. It only
	      supports batch mode procssing. Each tconv 2 command will convert one text file.

   Options
       Options for tconv 2 are interpreted as follows:

	      -r		  this option means fixed record length. Default is free format. This option is useful to text file.

	      -rs number	  this	option	is used to specify the record size of the file. For example '-rs 80' means that the record size is
				  80. The range of number is between 0 and 10240.

	      -ps		  while converting from WANG to CCDC or Big5. Each 3-byte code will be converted to one 2-byte code and one 1-byte
				  space. It implies fixed record length.

	      -m wang_hp	  convert from WANG's 3-byte code to HP's 2-byte CCDC code

	      -m wang_big5	  convert from WANG's 3-byte code to 2-byte Big5 code

	      -m hp_wang	  convert from HP's 2-byte CCDC code to WANG's 3-byte code

	      -m big5_wang	  convert from 2-byte Big5 code to WANG's 3-byte code

	      -i infile 	  specify the input text file name

	      -o outfile	  specify the output text file name

	      Mode (6) : tconv 3

	      The  sixth  mode is also a menu mode. If you invoke the tconv 3 command. It will go directly to the 4-byte code code conversion sub-
	      menu. The description is as follow :

		(1). From 4-byte Extended Unit Code(EUC) to HP Big5 code.
		(2). From 4-byte Extended Unit Code(EUC) to HP CCDC code.
		(3). From EUC to New Host Code(Traditional Chinese EBCDIC).
		(4). From HP Big5 code to 4-byte Extended Unit Code(EUC).
		(5). From HP CCDC code to 4-byte Extended Unit Code(EUC).
		(6). From New Host Code(Traditional Chinese EBCDIC) to EUC.

	      Mode (7) : tconv 3 num infile outfile

	      The seventh is used to convert one 4-byte code text file to another code type text file in command mode. The infile stands  for  the
	      input  filename, outfile for output filename. And num is the selection number you can find out from the interactive menu mode. Below
	      is the description of them :

	      num = 1 : From 4-byte Extended Unit Code(EUC) to HP Big5 code.
		    2 : From 4-byte Extended Unit Code(EUC) to HP CCDC code.
		    3 : From EUC to New Host Code(Traditional Chinese EBCDIC).
		    4 : From HP Big5 code to 4-byte Extended Unit Code(EUC).
		    5 : From HP CCDC code to 4-byte Extended Unit Code(EUC).
		    6 : From New Host Code(Traditional Chinese EBCDIC) to EUC.

	      Mode (8) : tconv 3 -n num -f file_of_namelist

	      The eighth is used to convert many files with one tconv 3 command. You have to create a file with all the filenames you want to con-

		  <file1>
		  <file2>
		  <file3>
		  .
		  .
		  .
		  <EOF>

	      Then use the command to convert all those files in batch mode. Also, same as Mode (7), num is the selection number you can find from
	      the interactive menu mode. Notice that you can only do one kind of conversion to all the files in file_of_namelist , and there is no
	      output filenames, all the files will be put into original file names which you specify in file_of_namelist.

	      Mode (9) : tconv 4

	      The ninth mode is a menu mode too. If you invoke the tconv 4 command. It will go directly to the Traditional-Chinese and Simplified-
	      Chinese code-conversion sub-menu. The description is as follow :

		(1). From HP Big5 code to HP GB code.
		(2). From HP Big5 code to GBK code.
		(3). From HP GB code to HP Big5 code.
		(4). From GBK code to HP Big5 code.

	      Mode (10) : tconv 4 num infile outfile

	      The tenth is used to convert one Big5 or GB code text file to the other code type text file in command mode. The infile  stands  for
	      the  input  filename,  outfile for output filename. And num is the selection number you can find out from the interactive menu mode.
