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.
