Hello Karel!

Let's say I have compiled a new version of GoldED. Currently I have
two groups (Group A and Group B).
My setup is:
OS uses UTF-8
GoldED is started through luit using, for example, a standard ISO
charset
Groups A and B use XLATCHARSET for conversion between the OS charset
and a non-standard charset
As I understand it, luit should no longer be necessary.How should I configure the new GoldED while remaining fully compatible with my
existing setup?Ideally, I would like to:
Use iconv-based charset conversion for most groups.
Keep some groups using the existing OS non-standard charset
conversion (including kludge lines).
I have checked the available documentation (for example, the
documentation bundled with the GoldED binaries), but I still see references to the old approach involving luit and related settings.
Could someone explain the recommended way to configure this in current GoldED versions?
Just comment the all XlatCharSet settings.
// In the first line of config set the config chatset, e.g:
XlatConfigSet LATIN-2
// Set the defaults:
// Chatset of your OS:
XlatLocalSet UTF-8
// Set the default import and export charsets:
XlatImport LATIN-2
XlatExport LATIN-2
// For groups the same:
GROUP UTF-8:
MEMBER UTF-8, UTF8.FTN.MESSAGING
XLATIMPORT UTF-8
XLATEXPORT UTF-8
ENDGROUP
No luit is needed, just run the golded binary
