Both aren't cross compilers, and even if they were, most modern platform use a
variation of the ISO-8859-1 (aka latin1) character set, so character set
translation wouldn't be necessary. But ISO-8859-1 as a source character set
and PETSCII are definitely different, so without the compiler translating your
strings, it would be very inconvenient to write programs doing text output.
