[Mlterm-dev-en] how does mlterm set encodings

[Victor N. <vna...@gm...>]

On a system running HP 11.11, the output of locale (narrowing it down to
korean locales) is:
ko_KR.eucKR
ko_KR.utf8
If I launch mlterm as : mlterm -E EUC-KR
and then try to read (on mlterm) a file encoded in euc korean, it does NOT
display the characters correclty.
However, if before I launch mlterm, I set locale to ko_KR.eucKR, and them
launch mlterm, i.e. let mlterm automatically select proper encoding, it does
display the file correclty.

Does anyone know why EUC-KR does not work on this system? Does it have to do
with locale aliases? I thought that mlterm encodings are independent of the
system's supported ones.

Thanks.
