Code Page is internal table that the operating system uses to relate the keys on a keyboard to the characters displayed on the screen (fonts). Different code pages provide support for the character sets and keyboard layouts used for different languages and various locales. For example, to support Russian characters DOS uses (Code Page) CP= 866, Windows uses CP = 1251, Macintosh uses CP = 10007 and UNIX uses CP=KOI -8. In addition to all these code tables the new international standard called UNICODE is now being used by some new operating systems.
Code Page Tuner is designed to convert text files containing Russian characters between code page formats of DOS, MACINTOSH, KOI8 and WINDOWS. The CP Tuner automatically determines the coding format of the source file and converts it into target file in accordance with preset target file specifications. In order to safely pass 8bit data (Cyrillic characters) via communication links and networks capable of handling only 7bit encoded characters, an encoding/decoding method called UUcoding has been created. This method is based on generation of four 7bit characters for every three 8bit encoded characters.
Code Page Tuner executes UUdecoding as well as UUencoding algorithms. The UUcoded fragment from the processed text can be saved as a separate file.
Code Page Tuner provides a mechanism for accessing different archiving utilities. This mechanism is based on the detection of the file's extension. User can initiate any prein talled archiving or dearchiving utility. Code Page Tuner is designed to operate in a Standalone or Embedded modes. In the Embedded mode CPTuner functions within the environment of the MS Word 6.x for Windows and Mac, MS Word 7.0 for Windows 95.
System requirements:
IBM PC, Windows 3.xx or Windows 95, 2 MB of free disk space, ParaWin, ParaWin 95, Macintosh, System 7.x, Dialect
