Changing Character Class
Definitions
You can change the characters in the default character classes or create new character
classes by these methods:
Using the x6530 command line option -cc at run time.
Using a charClass resource variable in the .Xdefaults file in the user’s home
directory on the workstation where x6530 resides.
Using the CharClass class variable in the .Xdefaults file in the user’s home
directory on the workstation where x6530 resides.
The format for these methods is:
-cc
charClass
CharClass
char-code:class [ , char-code:class ... ]
char-code
is the character code that represents the character you want in the class. The code
is a number in the range of 0 through 255. A complete list of character codes and
their corresponding characters is shown in Table 2-4. The character set Tandem
supports is the ISO 8859.1 (International Standards Organization) character set—
also known as the ECMA-94 (European Computer Manufacturers Association)
Latin Alphabet Number 1.
You can have more than one character in a class; specify the code and class as
many times as you need to define the characters. If you accidentally specify the
same code more than once, only the last one encountered is used.
If the characters are represented by adjacent character codes in Table 2-4, you can
specify the beginning and ending character codes rather than specify each code.
The format is:
beginning-ending:class
The value of
beginning
must be less than the value of
ending
.
class
is a number of your choice to identify the character class; it can be a default class
number or a new class number.
