## 11 Other micro-computer charsets ¶

### 11.1 Apple’s Macintosh code ¶

RFC 1345 brings 2 Macintosh charsets. You can discover them by using `grep` over the output of ‘`recode -l`’:

    recode -l | grep -i mac

Charsets `macintosh` and `macintosh_ce`, as well as their aliases `mac` and `macce` have `CR` as their implied surface.

### 11.2 Atari ST code ¶

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.
