If you want the converted string in any of the formats other than UTF-8,
UCS-2, UTF-16LE, or UTF-16BE, you have to do the conversion yourself.
Lots of free conversion algorithms are available in the web which can be
used for the conversion.

Does this means All theabove types arenot be supported by
TxtConvertEncoding????

Correct - the charEncodingXXX values defined in PalmLocale.h are a larger set than the encodings supported by the device.


However Y Rekha's response to your first email was slightly in error. Starting with Palm OS 5.3, the following Unicode encodings are supported:

        charEncodingUCS2
        charEncodingUTF8
        UTF16
        UTF16LE
        UTF16BE
        UTF32
        UTF32BE
        UTF32LE
        charEncodingUCS4

Also note that the additional encodings (beyond Unicode) supported by a device depend both on the OS version and the device's character encoding. For example, a Japanese device using the PalmShiftJIS character encoding will support conversion to/from Shift-JIS, but that won't be the case for an English device using the PalmLatin character encoding.
