[Freedos-devel] Internationalisation of HTML Help

2004-03-22 Thread Robert Platt
Hi folks, I could do with advice and hints on internationalisation, to make sure I do it correctly. HTML Help has no international support at present, and I was planning to tackle this next. And now I have had an enquiry into creating a German translation, so I now really want to get a move on.

Help is often run when the user is having problems setting up FreeDOS. Their codepage could be incorrect. Help should be robust in such circumstances. It would be great if I could detect the codepage, rather than assume it. Is there a DOS interrupt or something that could do this? Kitten: as I
