This filter program for Linux (including WSL) converts output of the Commander X16 Emulator R33+ to UTF-8 looking like PETSCII-UC, PETSCII-LC, or ISO8859-15 depending on what is used. It also converts the control codes to ANSI/VT100/xterm Escape sequences. It can print some debug information e.g. Ⓓ & Ⓐ for CR & LF, if you use option -d. It might also be used with the real Commander X16 if it has a serial port. Now it can be used to help write manuals.

In the future also the keypresses will be shown, and there is some buggy support for that already. It should also support the control code $80 i.e. verbatim mode. It does support $01 i.e. swap colors.
