| Thank you! Nice writeup. Anyone know if it is possible to add DBCS and IME to plain English Warp? It's becoming major problem I have to deal with other languages other than English, often DBCS, and OS/2 cannot deal with it. (Except a few select Java programs) |

| Good evening,Issac: Thanks for you comment.
I think that OS/2 is poor at Unicode handling. I have an idea that without agree with country code and code page it is next to impossible add a perfect DBCS Support to plain English Warp. [reference] EXPLANATION: The system cannot find the specified country code or code page. CODE PAGES Notes: Therefore, Japanese OS/2 is supported only Japanese and English, not Chinese and Korean. By the way, do you know the Mule(Emacs) supported multi languages? Sorry, I don't make use of Mule. |

| Actually, you can use other language in OS/2 4.x (after WSeB code merge) and eCS with a little tweak of the system. On doing this, the prime issue is the font. I am using Korean with eCS 1.2, and here's how i do it. You can still use 437,949, but i feel more safe this way. Reason why not using 949,850 is because the first code page setting is for default, and the second is for aux codepage to display. Since all eCS resource contains 437 and 850 resources only, if i set 949 as default, eCS won't boot up properly, complaining for lack of resource data for code page 949. And from here, it's matter of issuing chcp 949 and running an application from command prompt, or changing the codepage setting from the settings page to 949 if i wanted to use Korean IO from the app. In this case, there is no IME supplied from IBM or SSI, and here I use the IME hook developed in Korean OS/2 community. (K-IME) It uses a keyboard hook to intercept the key input to enable Korean inputs to the applications. Using like this is a bit of a pain, but pretty usable. I once did a dirty hook of making Korean version of OS/2 4.0 FP#5 using english OS/2 and Japanese OS/2 fixpacks and doing some DLL hacks. (Wipe out the Japanese resource and replace it with Korean string and so on) But was quite dirty. Now, i don;t, fr pretty obvious reasons. So, I just wanted to point out that it is possible to make up a usable asian version of OS/2(eCS) using plain English version. |

| Hmm...really? I can't seem to get it to work. For example, I change it to 850,950 (for Chinese-Taiwan). OS/2 boots up. Then I go "chcp 950" and startup something like PMMail, for example (with appropriate fonts), but no luck. Actually, I have no problem with DBCS/Unicode on Mozilla, it always seems to work on web pages or e-mail (except some web pages which don't properly declare the language, then you have to manually tell it the decoding to use). I think OS/2 has the API's to handle Unicode well enough, just nobody bothered to update the PMSHELL or WPS to natively handle it (unless you already have DBCS system). The code hasn't been merged (and probably never will be). I notice also that OpenOffice 1.1.4 doesn't seem to have a problem handling documents with DBCS in it...., nor Java applications...
