+.SH NAME
+a8cat \- Convert Atari 8-bit text to UTF-8 encoded Unicode.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fIa8cat\fP [\fB\-r\fP] [\fB\-i\fP] [\fB\-u\fP] [\fB\-t\fP] [\fIinfile\fP] [\fIinfile ...\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+Convert Atari 8\-bit ATASCII or XL ICS (International Character
+Set) text to UTF\-8 encoded Unicode. Control graphics characters are
+replaced with their nearest Unicode equivalents (mostly from the Box
+Drawing block, or from the Basic Latin block with \fB\-i\fP option).
+.sp
+If no \fIinfile\fPs are given, input is read from standard input. Output always
+goes to standard output; to write to a file, use a command like:
+.INDENT 0.0
+.INDENT 3.5
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+a8cat atari.txt > converted.txt
+.ft P
+.fi
+.UNINDENT
+.UNINDENT
+.sp
+The output is plain UTF\-8 Unicode, without BOM.
+.sp
+Inverse video (characters codes above \fB$80\fP) are translated using
+the ANSI/VT\-100 reverse video escape sequences. Exception: \fB$9B\fP
+(Atari EOL) is translated to \fB\en\fP (newline).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.INDENT 0.0
+.TP
+.B  \-i
+Input uses Atari XL/XE International Character Set encoding, rather than
+ATASCII graphics.
+.TP
+.B  \-u
+Use "underlining" for inverse video. Each inverse character is followed by
+a backspace, then a \fI_\fP character. When viewed in a pager such as \fBless\fP(1),
+this causes the characters to appear underlined. Output created with this
+option cannot be converted back to ATASCII with the \fB\-r\fP option.
+.TP
+.B  \-t
+Text mode. Normally, everything but EOL (\fB$9B\fP) is converted to a
+Unicode graphics character. In text mode, ATASCII tabs, backspace,
+and bells are translated to the ASCII versions.
+.TP
+.B  \-r
+Reverse conversion: Input is UTF\-8, output is ATASCII (or XL ICS, with \fB\-i\fP).
+Beware that printing ATASCII to a terminal may look funny, and may even confuse
+the terminal. Redirecting to a file is safe.
