NAME

       Windows1250 - Source code filter for Windows-1250 script (Imitation JPerl)

SYNOPSIS

    In your script:

      use Windows1250;

    At command prompt:

      perl  yourscript.pl  wild*  *card  and  '*quote*'  on MSWin32

DESCRIPTION

      This software is "JPerl on the Modern Perl" written by Perl.

      To our regret, the Sjis software family cannot treat Windows-1250 up to now.
      This software can supplement those weak points. We can write the script
      in Windows-1250 again.

      This software treats Windows-1250 directly. Therefore, there is not UTF8 flag.

INSTALLATION BY MAKE (for UNIX like system)

To install this software by make, type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install

INSTALLATION WITHOUT MAKE (for DOS like system)

To install this software without make, type the following:

   perl pMakefile.PL    --- pMakefile.PL makes "pmake.bat" only, and ...
   pmake.bat
   pmake.bat test

   pmake.bat install    --- install to current using Perl

   pmake.bat dist       --- make distribution package
   pmake.bat ptar.bat   --- make perl script "ptar.bat"

DEPENDENCIES

This software requires perl5.00503 or later.

ABOUT Windows-1252

Windows-1250 is a code page used under Microsoft Windows to represent texts in
Central European and Eastern European languages that use Latin script, such as
Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian (Latin
script), Romanian (before 1993 spelling reform) and Albanian. It may also be
used with the German language; German-language texts encoded with Windows-1250
and Windows-1252 are identical.

In modern applications UTF-8 or UTF-16 is a preferred encoding; 0.1% of all web
pages use Windows-1250 since August 2017.

Windows-1250 is similar to ISO-8859-2 and has all the printable characters it
has and more. However a few of them are rearranged (unlike Windows-1252, which
keeps all printable characters from ISO-8859-1 in the same place). Most of the
rearrangements seem to have been done to keep characters shared with Windows-1252
in the same place as in Windows-1252 but three of the characters moved (Au L' z')
cannot be explained this way, since those do not occur in Windows-1252 and could
have been put in the same positions as in ISO-8859-2 if u had been put e.g. at
9F.

* ALGORITHM #1

 When the character is taken out of the octet string, it is necessary to
distinguish a single octet character and the multiple octet character.
The distinction is done only by first octet.

    Single octet code is:
      0x00-0xFF

* ALGORITHM #2

Against algorithm.1, when the range of the character by tr/// is specified, only the
following character codes are effective.

    Single octet code is:
      0x00-0xFF
