MORE INFORMATION
================
In addition to a description of the book's problems, each entry in this document
might also include sections labeled "Correction" and "Comments." Please note
that the "Correction" section is worded for correcting the book and does not
necessarily address the problem introduced by the book error. The "Comments"
section contains specific information for working around the problem.
Far Eastern Languages No Longer Require Separate SDK
----------------------------------------------------
The chart on page 8, in the "Far Eastern" language row, suggests that Far Eastern
languages require the use of a separate Windows SDK/DDK. This is no longer
correct. Far Eastern languages now use the Windows SDK and DDK International
supplement, as do European, Middle Eastern, and Thai languages.
Page 46: szString2 Parameter Missing In szString[cbMaxSize]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Page 46:
Change
char szString[cbMaxSize] = ConcatenateFourStrings(szString1, szCommand,
szFilename, ".");
to
char szString[cbMaxSize] = ConcatenateFiveStrings(szString1, szCommand,
szString2, szFilename, ".");
Page 65: Lead-Byte Ranges Incorrect
-----------------------------------
Page 65, figure 3-5:
Change lead byte range as follows:
Chinese (Simplified): 0x81-0xfe
Note that for 16-bit Windows the lead byte ranges of Chinese and Korean are
different. The correct lead byte ranges for 16-bit Windows are:
CP936 (CHS - GB) 0xa1-0xfe
CP949 (KOR - Wansung) 0xa1-0xfe
CP950 (CHT - Big Five) x81-0xfe
Page 80: Delete Ref To "hantsu" And "kangxi"
---------------------------------------------
*hanzi* and *hantsu* are two different romanizations that represent the same
pronunciation. *kangxi* is not an alternate pronunciation for *hanzi*, but
rather is the name of the second Qing Emperor Kangxi
Correction:
Page 80: Remove reference to "hantsu" and "kangxi."
Page 318: Code Page 936 Incomplete
----------------------------------
After the publication of "Developing International Software for Windows 95 and
Windows NT," code page 936 was extended to include all Unicode CJK ideographs.
The new code page 936 is the new standard used in Windows 95 and Windows NT
editions sold in the People's Republic of China.
The new code page 936 can be found on the CD accompanying "The Unicode Standard,
Version 2.0" in:
\DOS\MAPPINGS\VENDORS\MICSFT\WINDOWS\CP936.TXT
Page 484: Update CP1257
------------------------
On page 484, the Baltic code page 1257 needs to be updated.
Here is a more recent version of code page 1257 (as of 7 September 1995):
