Didn't see anything on this specific question in a quick search of the database. If I just missed it, I apologize.
What I have in mind is being able to read the Japanese error messages on an MSWindows box. So I wanted to make a mysql\share\japanese_sjis directory and save the two errmsg files in it in shift-jis. I had no problems loading errmsg.txt into a text editor as euc and saving as shift-jis. But errmsg.sys is not text. Just for fun, I tried using my text editor to filter that, too, but mysql of course refuses to start up with that specified in my my.ini file. Maybe I could re-compile something? Or run a filter on something? If this might be possible, I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction.
