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 ibmpc, but differs in some details (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 ibmpc, 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.
