UNICODE.SYS: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:13, 18 March 2022

The Unicode device driver enables Unicode and locales support for the kernel and other device drivers.

It is also required by JFS.IFS file system driver.

Note: This driver has hard coded the path of "<boot drive>:\LANGUAGE\CODEPAGE". If you move the folder from its location UNICODE.SYS will give you errors on boot, no matter if you changed the config.sys statement to the new location.

Warp Server for e-Business Unicode Driver, enables Unicode and locale support. Necessary for JFS.IFS.

DEVICE=\OS2\BOOT\UNICODE.SYS <parameter>

-L: Specifies that base locale setting is permanent. If selected \LANGUAGE\LOCALE\DEFAULT.LOC overrides the config.sys settings.
-X: Disables codepage conversion, must not be used with JFS.IFS
-V: Verbose, show messages during boot
