We've seen that Netscape uses experimental ("x-....") names for charsets,
such as "x-mac-roman". FoxPro achieves 'internationality' by using code
pages (see table below). Perhaps this is a little late, but wouldn't it
be better to use "codepage=10000" than "charset=x-mac-roman"?
(Glenn, are these codes Unicode pages, or did Microsoft make them up?
I couldn't find any articles in the MSKB with both "codepage" and
"unicode" references.)

Translating Accented Characters
FoxPro now supports automatic translation of characters across code pages.
In earlier versions of FoxPro, any translation of accented characters had
to be performed manually.
A code page is a set of characters specific to a language or hardware
platform. Accented characters are not represented by the same ASCII values
across platforms and code pages. In addition, some characters available in
one code page are not available in another.
The following table lists the code pages supported by FoxPro.
