Memo from Chris Couldridge of PricewaterhouseCoopers
-------------------- Start of message text -------------------- First, thanks for all your help on my hex to dec question, ended up amending my own code to include some useful bits from all your advice. For my next trick I am creating a CD-ROM which will have global distribution, nothing to complicated or tricky, just video in an interface and subtitles (which will be graphics as opposed to live text), apart from one part which requires copying some files across to the desktop (they are actually PowerPoint template files). As far as my R&D has shown so far, it seems that registry data is stored in English, even in non-English language OS, so in theory there should be no problems. I'm trying to get hold of a Japanese OS/laptop to check out my theory (easier said than done), but has anyone had any experience of using API calls of this type on CD-ROMs with a global audience and are there any problems/pitfalls I should be aware of? My only other fear is that there might be problems with the copied PowerPoint files (which will be in English) when they land on a system with double-byte or other non-Roman character sets. Any pointers will be gratefully received Chris --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
