+.SH NAME
+koi8rxterm \- X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B koi8rxterm
+[
+.I xterm-options
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B koi8rxterm
+is a wrapper around the
+.BR xterm(1)
+program that invokes the latter program with the \(oqKOI8R__default_class__\(cq X
+resource class set.
+All arguments to
+.B koi8rxterm
+are passed to
+.B xterm
+without processing; the
+.B \-class
+and
+.B \-k8
+options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper.
+See the
+.BR xterm
+manual page for more information on
+.IR xterm-options .
+.PP
+The environment's locale settings (see \(lqENVIRONMENT\(rq below) are
+used to discern the locale's character set.
+If no current locale can be determined, the locale \(oqru_RU.KOI8-R\(cq
+(the Russian language as used in the territory of Russia, with the KOI8-R
+character set) is assumed.
+The
+.BR locale(1)
+utility is used to determine whether the system supports the selected
+locale.
+If it does not,
+.B koi8rxterm
+will exit with an error and report the output of
+.BR locale .
+.PP
+.B Note: koi8rxterm
+may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which
+the KOI8-R character encoding is not supported, or if fonts using that
+encoding are not available.
+In the Debian system, the \(oqxfonts\-cyrillic\(cq package provides the
+fonts that
+.B koi8rxterm
+uses by default.
+To change the fonts
+.B koi8rxterm
+uses, edit the
+.I __apploaddir__/KOI8R__default_class__
+file.
+.PP
+A similar wrapper,
+.BR uxterm(1),
+is available for Unicode UTF-8 environments.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B LC_ALL\fR, \fBLC_CTYPE\fR, \fBLANG
+The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the
+character set used by the current locale.
+.SH AUTHOR
+.B koi8rxterm
+was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on
+.BR uxterm ,
+by Thomas Dickey.
+The assistance of Jurij Smakov was invaluable in sanity-checking its
+operation.
