DOS/OEM Character Set Support
Windows programs typically use a
different character set than do DOS programs. The DOS character set
is known as the OEM/DOS character set, and includes various line
drawing characters and miscellaneous characters not in the
Windows/ANSI set. The Windows/ANSI character set includes many
accented characters not in the OEM/DOS character set. Epsilon for
Windows uses the Windows/ANSI character set (with most fonts).
The oem-to-ansi command converts the current buffer from the
OEM/DOS character set to the Windows/ANSI character set. The
ansi-to-oem command does the reverse. If any character in the
buffer doesn't have a unique translation, these commands warn before
translating, and move to the first character without a unique
translation.
The find-oem-file command reads a file using the OEM/DOS
character set, translating it into the Windows/ANSI character set,
and arranges things so when you save the file, the reverse
translation automatically occurs. These commands are only available
in Epsilon for Windows.
