Automatic OEM and ANSI Conversion

Apollo VCL automatically translates European OEM character set tables and indexes into Windows ANSI and vice-versa. This allows you to run DOS based applications concurrently with Windows applications using the same data. (See TApolloTable and TApolloQuery's OEMTranslate methods.)

International developers needing to support legacy CA-Clipper data/index files that use non-English index collation sequences should also see the OEMSORT.TXT file. This file is installed in your root Apollo directory and contains additional information to support different international collating sequences for your indexes. See the Notes For International Users section for additional information on handling different index collation sequences and displayed values.
