Michigan Terminal System - Computing Center Memos - No. 480: Translation Day Character Code Changes on MTS

9551_0001

On Translation Day, February 22, 1988, the Computing Center changed the codes used to represent some characters on MTS to improve the ability of those using MTS to move files or send messages to other hosts without having characters become unreadable or having to translate a file that contains them upon arrival at another host. This memo provides details about the change and explains how to convert affected files easily to the new codes.
