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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                  The Resource Compiler CODEPAGE Statement
 
CODEPAGE codepage-id
 
The CODEPAGE statement sets the code page for all subsequent resources. The
code page specifies the character set used for characters in the resource.
 
If the CODEPAGE statement is not given in a resource-definition file, rc
uses the code page set up for the individual system. If more than one
CODEPAGE statement is given in the file, each CODEPAGE statement applies to
the resource statements between it and the next CODEPAGE statement.

You may also specify a code page by placing a code-page identifier in the
load-option or mem-option field of any rc statement that uses those fields.

Portuguese (860).
