KOI8RXTERM(1)			 X Window System		   KOI8RXTERM(1)

NAME
     koi8rxterm - X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments

SYNOPSIS
     koi8rxterm [ xterm-options ]

DESCRIPTION
     koi8rxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter
     program  with  the  "KOI8RXTerm"  X  resource  class set.	All arguments to
     koi8rxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and	-k8  op-
     tions  should  not  be specified because they are used by the wrapper.  See
     the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options.

     The environment's locale settings (see "ENVIRONMENT"  below)  are	used  to
     discern  the  locale's  character	set.  If no current locale can be deter-
     mined, the locale "ru_RU.KOI8-R" (the Russian language as used in the  ter-
     ritory of Russia, with the KOI8-R character set) is assumed.  The locale(1)
     utility  is  used to determine whether the system supports the selected lo-
     cale.  If it does not, koi8rxterm will exit with an error	and  report  the
     output of locale.

     Note:  koi8rxterm	may  produce unexpected results if the current locale is
     set to one in which the KOI8-R character encoding is not supported,  or  if
     fonts  using  that  encoding  are not available.  In the Debian system, the
     "xfonts-cyrillic" package provides the fonts that koi8rxterm  uses  by  de-
     fault.    To   change   the   fonts  koi8rxterm  uses,  edit  the	/usr/lo-
     cal/lib/X11/app-defaults/KOI8RXTerm file.

     A similar wrapper, uxterm(1), is available for Unicode UTF-8 environments.

ENVIRONMENT
     LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
	    The values of these variables are checked, in  order,  to  determine
	    the character set used by the current locale.

AUTHORS
     koi8rxterm was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on ux-
     term,  by	Thomas Dickey.	The assistance of Jurij Smakov was invaluable in
     sanity-checking its operation.
