SUMMARY
=======

This article explains how to enable the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus
Notes to support double-byte character sets (DBCS) between Exchange Server and
Lotus Notes with a North American or English version of the Notes client
installed on an English version Windows NT Server.

MORE INFORMATION
================

DBCS between Exchange Server and Lotus Notes is supported in the new and
enhanced release of the Exchange Notes Connector in the Web 2 update. Most Asian
languages are DBCS based, such as the following languages:

- Chinese-Simplified

- Chinese-Traditional

- Japanese

- Korean

DBCS support is integrated with the United States English versions of the
Exchange Notes Connector and Exchange Server. In addition, the English version
Notes client can support entry and display of DBCS characters that include
Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese if you copy
specific .cls files.

Configuring the English version of Windows NT Server and the Exchange Notes Connector to Support DBCS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To configure the computer running the English version of Windows NT Server and
the Exchange Notes Connector to support DBCS:

1. Locate the DBCS language that you want from the Langpack folder on the
  Windows NT 4.0 CD.

2. Right-click the .inf file for the language that you want, and click Install;
  this adds the DBCS language that you want to the list in Regional Settings.

3. Click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then
  double-click Regional Settings.

4. On the Regional Settings tab, click the language that you want in the list,
  and click to select the "Set as system default locale" check box.

5. Restart the computer running Windows NT Server.

6. Install the U.S. English version of Exchange Server version 5.5, Service Pack
  1 or later.

7. Install the U.S. English version of the Exchange Notes Connector (Service
  Pack 2 or later).

8. Install the North American or International English version of the Notes
  client version 4.5 or later.

9. On the Options tab of the Notes Connector property pages, click the Notes
  server language that you want, based on the DBCS client language that you
  want and not on the actual language of the corresponding Notes server.

10. Follow the normal procedures to complete the configuration of the Exchange
  Notes Connector.

After you configure the Exchange Notes Connector, all of the DBCS information in
the message header or body and all of the directory information is preserved
between Exchange Server and Lotus Notes.

Configuring the English Version of the Notes Client to Support DBCS
-------------------------------------------------------------------

To support DBCS such as Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional
Chinese text, replace some of the .cls files of the English version Notes client
with the files in the following list. These files are in the Notes program
directory.

NOTE: Quit Notes before you copy the following files.

To support the following languages, copy the files that are listed for that
language:

- Japanese:

  L_cp932.cls to L_cpdos.cls
  L_cp932.cls to L_cpwin.cls
  Colljpn.cls to Collstd.cls
  Dbcs\Leadbyte.cls to Notes Directory
  Dbcs\Hlfpitch.cls to Notes Directory
  Dbcs\Fulpitch.cls to Notes Directory

- Korean:

  L_cpks.cls to L_cpdos.cls
  L_cpks.cls to L_cpwin.cls
  Collks.cls to Collstd.cls
  Dbcs\Leadbyte.cls to Notes Directory
  Dbcs\Hlfpitch.cls to Notes Directory
  Dbcs\Fulpitch.cls to Notes Directory

- Simplified Chinese:

  L_cpgb.cls to L_cpdos.cls
  L_cpgb.cls to L_cpwin.cls
  Collgb.cls to Collstd.cls
  Dbcs\Leadbyte.cls to Notes Directory
  Dbcs\Hlfpitch.cls to Notes Directory
  Dbcs\Fulpitch.cls to Notes Directory

- Traditional Chinese:

  L_cpbig5.cls to L_cpdos.cls
  L_cpbig5.cls to L_cpwin.cls
  Collbig5.cls to Collstd.cls
  Dbcs\Leadbyte.cls to Notes Directory
  Dbcs\Hlfpitch.cls to Notes Directory
  Dbcs\Fulpitch.cls to Notes Directory

NOTE: You can get DBCS support for only one language at one time. This is by
Notes design.
