3.8. Displaying Localized File Names
Localized file names are those names recorded in languages other
than English. They are stored on the drive in Unicode format. The Windows operating system (95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP) creates filenames using local fonts defined
in the Control Panel, Regional Settings Properties.
Microsoft DOS might understand local fonts but it might be unable
to display filenames in Unicode.
Active@ UNERASER can display localized filenames in DOS, provided
proper font definition file is available.
To prepare the operating system with local font definitions follow
these steps:
- Download UNICODE.EXE and save it to the same place where
UNERASER.EXE is located (usually to a floppy in drive A:).
- At the local PC, boot normally to Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
This PC would be the one with unique Regional Settings.
- Double-click the DOS icon, or click Start, Run and enter COMMAND.
The DOS command prompt will appear.
- Change the drive to drive A:. Issue the command UNICODE.EXE.
- A file should be created named UNICODE.DAT. Its size will be
65,536 bytes and it will be in the same folder as the executable UNICODE.EXE.
- Exit the command prompt screen. Leave the bootable floppy in
drive A: and boot in DOS mode.
- Run Active@ UNERASER for DOS. Scan your drive and switch to Long
File Names mode by pressing [Tab] (see Displaying
Long File Names, below).
- File names will appear using local fonts.
(!) Note: To be able to display local fonts in filenames, the
correct display driver code page must be loaded.
