  • Codepage conversion?

    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to All on Saturday, February 19, 2022 09:50:07
    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to get the wttr.in weather reports converted to ASCII like how Craig is posting them in MIN_WEATHER. He is using a program built into Synchronet to do the work but I am trying to use iconv but it keeps barfing, complaining about a "binary character" every few lines. Does anyone know of
    a program under Linux I can try?

    if he is using a synchronet mod you can just use the jsexec filename.js
