WarpIN's codepage support is separated into three layers:
CODEPAGE
setting in CONFIG.SYS, which
is 850 on most systems. This ensures that all file names etc. will always be
processed with the user's default codepage.
However, to make sure that WarpIN's file operations will keep working even if the user chooses to change his default code page (between package installation and de-installation), you should never use special characters (above ASCII 127) in your package's file names. Otherwise file verification and de-installation of WarpIN might fail.
WARPIN
element. That is, the whole PM
windowing stuff will be displayed with that codepage (installation pages,
package descriptions, etc.).
If this is not specified, this will default to 850. Even if your system default codepage is not 850, in "Install" mode, WarpIN will switch to codepage 850 then. In "Install" mode, WarpIN stores the data to the database together with the codepage number which this data needs to be displayed in.
