Greetings, all!
I would like to add unicode support to my dbf project. The dbf header
has a one-byte field to hold the encoding of the file. For example,
\x03 is code-page 437 MS-DOS.
My google-fu is apparently not up to the task of locating a complete
resource that has a list of the 256 possible values and their
corresponding code pages.
What makes you imagine that all 256 possible values are mapped to code
pages?
I'm just wanting to make sure I have whatever is available, and
preferably standard. :D
So far I have found this, plus variations:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/129631
Does anyone know of anything more complete?
That is for VFP3. Try the VFP9 equivalent.
dBase 5,5,6,7 use others which are not defined in publicly available
dBase docs AFAICT. Look for "language driver ID" and "LDID". Secondary
source: ESRI support site.
Well, a couple hours later and still not more than I started with.
Thanks for trying, though!
