Hi All,

I have some questions related to Unicode on Windows98.

 

(1)     What do you mean when you state 'Win98 does not support Unicode
completely'. Is it like we can edit Unicode files on Win98 or some thing
like that?

 

(2)     I want to know what is possible and what is not possible on Win
98 regarding Unicode?

 

(3)     I read about MSLU (The Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows
95/98/ME systems) whose stated purpose is 

[To provide] a complete set of Unicode functions on Microsoft Windows(r)

95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me). With

this, Unicode applications can run on Microsoft Windows NT(r), Windows

2000, Windows XP, and Windows 95/98/Me.1

Does this change the scene in anyway?

 

(4)     If the MSLU is not useful for using Unicode on Win98. Then what
are its short comings. And what needs to be done?

(5)     [For Java Experts]As far as I know all strings in Java are
stored as Unicode. And Java uses Unicode internally. Is it like if I
write something in XP doesn't work on Win98?  

 

If somebody can write to me in detail it will be of great help to me.

Thanks in advance,

Thejesh G N
