Setting Alternate Code Pages

The code page or pages a client uses are determined by system settings. The procedure for changing these system settings depends on the client operating system.

    To set alternate code pages under the Windows NT operating system

• Use the International application in the Windows NT Control Panel as described in your manuals for Windows NT.

    To set alternate code pages under the Windows or MS-DOS operating systems

1. Add or change entries in the CONFIG.SYS file, as indicated in the following example:

   COUNTRY=001,850,C:\DOS\COUNTRY.SYS
   DEVICE=C:\DOS\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,850,2)
   

   (These entries prepare the console device for code page 850.)

2. Add or change entries in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, as indicated in the following example:

   NLSFUNC
   MODE CON CP PREP=((850,437)C:\DOS\EGA.CPI)
   CHCP 850
   

   (These entries set code pages 850 and 437 as alternate code pages, and set code page 850 as the default.)
