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
