Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Windows and Windows applications call the AnsiToOem and OemToAnsi functions
to convert ANSI characters to OEM characters and OEM characters to ANSI
characters. The functions allow Windows applications to prepare text for the
MS-DOS environment.
 
The keyboard code page affects the translation of ANSI and OEM characters.
The keyboard driver must adapt its translation tables for specific code
pages by loading translation tables from the corresponding translation-table
file. Windows specifies the translation table to load using the OEMANSI.BIN
setting in the [Keyboard] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
