Modifying code conversion tables on Windows systems

In client applications on Windows systems, you can modify the standard conversion tables as follows:

The version information of the created DLL is not essential in order to create the library.

Modifying the library utmcnvnn.dll

To modify the library utmcnvnn.dll the following steps are necessary:

1. Modify the tables as required, see “Adapting tables in kcsaeea.c or KDCAEEA.C (Standard code conversion tables)”.

2. Create the library utmcnvnn.dll.

   If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio:

   1. In the directory upic-dir\utmcnv create a new, blank Win32 project with the name utmcnv64 (64-bit) and the application type Dynamic-Link Library.

   2. Add the following files to the project:

      • The modified code tables file kcsaeea.c,

      • If necessary, utmcnvnn.rc.

c. Use this project to create utmcnvnn.dll.

Once the utmcnvnn.dll library has been created successfully, you still have to copy it into the upic-dir\sys directory containing the UPIC library upicwnn.dll or upicwsnn.dll which is loaded by your application.

Verify that the original library utmcnvnn.dll is either overwritten by copying or is deleted, otherwise it may be loaded inadvertently by the system instead of the new library.
