CONVICKT(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CONVICKT(1)

NAME

       convickt - convert INTERCAL files between formats

SYNOPSIS

       convickt incharset outcharset [paddingrule [arrayname]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes the convickt command.  Fuller documentation is available via the command info convickt

       convickt  converts INTERCAL programs from one character set to another; it takes input from standard input and sends its output to standard
       output.

OPTIONS

       For incharset and outcharset

       atari  Interpret the input as being ASCII-7 Atari syntax INTERCAL, as is used by the Atari INTERCAL-72 compiler, J-INTERCAL, and C-INTERCAL
	      default syntax, or output in that syntax.

       baudot Interpret the input as being in CLC-INTERCAL's extended Baudot syntax, or output in that syntax.

       ebcdic Interpret the input as being in the CLC-INTERCAL dialect of EBCDIC, or output in that syntax.

       latin1 Interpret  the input as being Latin-1 Princeton syntax INTERCAL, as is used by default by CLC-INTERCAL and also readable by C-INTER-
	      CAL with the -X switch, or output in that syntax.

       For paddingrule

       zero   Pad the irrelevant bits in ASCII-7 and Baudot output with zeros.

       printable
	      Set the values of the irrelevant bits in ASCII-7 and Baudot output to try to cause the output to stay within character range 32-126.
	      This option is the default. (Note that paddingrule is irrelevant for 8-bit character sets like Latin-1 and EBCDIC).

       random Pad the irrelevant bits in ASCII-7 and Baudot output with random data, except that outputing an all-bits-zero octet is avoided.

CAVEATS

       Not  all  conversions  are  possible,  due  to the character sets having different characters available. In most cases, an unconvertible or
       invalid character will be converted to a 0 (padded appropriately); the exception is that if a tab cannot be converted, it will  instead	be
       converted  to  a single space (so that INTERCAL programs still run if converted to Baudot). Using atari as an input or output character set
       will literally convert characters which differ between Atari and Princeton syntax without checking to see whether they are  being  used	as
       operators or not.

       If  arrayname  is  given,  then instead of outputting the converted text literally, it will be output as portable (that is, legal in INTER-
       CAL-72, C-INTERCAL, J-INTERCAL and CLC-INTERCAL) INTERCAL that dimensions the tail array given as arrayname and assigns each  byte  of  the
       output to an element of that array; this is mostly useful for producing Baudot text for CLC-INTERCAL-style array IO.
