Filename Conversion Plug-ins Overview</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>The FAT Filename Conversion Plug-ins component contains plug-in converters
used by the File Server. Each plug-in converts file names (FAT or FAT32) between
Unicode and a Windows code page. </p>
<section><title>Key concept</title> <p> <b>Windows code page</b>  </p> <p>A
Windows code page is also referred to as a code page. It is a character encoding
used by Windows OS. Windows code pages match most of the current encodings.
For example, CP1250 (a Windows code page) supports character set of ISO-8859-2. </p> </section>
<section><title>Libraries (plug-in converters)</title> <p>The following table
lists the plug-in converters used by the File Server, and their respective
target scripts. Each converter is identified by the DLL name which is named
as <filepath>[converter name].dll</filepath>. </p> <table id="GUID-9AB1631B-6F48-595D-8243-B56803928BAA">
