NAME
shownonascii - View all or part of a mail message in a
non-ASCII font
SYNOPSIS
shownonascii charset-font-name [-e command-to-execute]
file-name(s)
DESCRIPTION
The shownonascii program allows data in non-ASCII charac-
ter sets to be viewed under X11. By default, it will
open up an xterm using the font named in the first argu-
ment, running the "more" command to view all of the files
named on the command line.
If the -e switch is used, the rest of the command line
will be taken as the command to tell xterm to run instead
of more.
If the MM_CHARSET environment variable is set and matches
the character set named in the first argument, a new xterm
window will not be opened.
If the MM_AUXCHARSETS environment variable is set the
character set named in the first argument is a subset of
that string, a new xterm window will not be opened.
