euc2html -------- By, "Jordan Husney" , (c) 2001 and distributed under the GNU Public License. This is a really simple application that processes files on a pipe only (reading from stdin, and writing to stdout). It converts any double-byte Japanese (and maybe Chinese/Korean) EUC encoded characters and replaces them with HTML 4.0 Unicode entities. Example usage: cat some_euc_encoded_file.txt | euc2html > output.html This application is basically a command line hack of a rather well done Win32 hack of an application by a master of language encodings, "William A. McKee" , who took pity on me and authored the original application when I struggling to include Kanji on the Everything2 (http://www.everything2.com) website. If you look at the source code, the hooks exist to do bi-directional processing (that is, convert HTML back to EUC). Also, JIS and S/JIS processing would be rather trivial to add. I do not need this functionality, so I did not implement it. If you do, send me that patches and I will roll it into a release. Good luck. Jordan. --- jordanh@remotepoint.com
