This software enables conversion between various character sets, transcription, and transliteration methods for Greek text representation.
This software reads the specified file(s) in its command line and prints the converted results on its standard output. Alternatively, it can run as a filter, reading text from its standard input and printing the converted result on its standard output. The redirection operator > can be used to write results to files.
Grconv offers three different ways to use its features. It can transcribe or transliterate Greek text represented using a specified method into plain Latin characters or convert Latin text produced by the above transliteration operation back into a specified representation of Greek text.
