Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Converting data for an application ported from an operating system (OS) platform of a first computer to an OS platform of a second computer. Configuration information associated with ported application including the first computer's OS platform is stored on the second computer. The ported application executing on the second computer receives first data encoded in a first code set. The OS of the second computer receives a request to convert the first data to a second data encoded in a second code set, locates a first-code-set-to-second-code-set mapping based on at least maintained code set mappings of the OS of the first computer, and converts the first data to the second data using the located first-code-set-to-second-code-set mapping. The second data is compatible for processing on the second computer and output from converting the data on the second computer is equivalent to an output from converting the data on the first computer.
