This charset is available in recode under the name AtariST.
This is the character set used on the Atari ST/TT/Falcon. This is similar
to IBM-PC, but differs in some details: it includes some more accented
characters, the graphic characters are mostly replaced by Hebrew characters,
and there is a true German sharp s different from Greek beta.
About the end-of-line conversions: the canonical end-of-line on the
Atari is `\r\n', but unlike IBM-PC, the OS makes no
difference between text and binary input/output; it is up to the
application how to interpret the data. In fact, most of the libraries
that come with compilers can grok both `\r\n' and `\n' as end
of lines. Many of the users who also have access to Unix systems prefer
`\n' to ease porting Unix utilities. So, for easing reversibility,
recode tries to let `\r' undisturbed through recodings.
