Palm's Latin character set is roughly equivalent to Windows code page 1252. There are a few minor differences - Windows has defined two new characters in the high ASCII range that are not yet part of Palm's character set, and Palm adds some display-only glyphs in the control range. In either case if you're sending characters from a Palm device that uses the PalmLatin encoding, you can treat all of the data as CP1252. If you look in CharLatin.h, you'll see the definitions of all code points which are specific to the Latin encoding. -- Ken Ken Krugler TransPac Software, Inc. <http://www.transpac.com> +1 530-470-9200 -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
