Hello All,
We have an application developed and run on HP-UX11i RISC and Itanium.
Our application should read computer names and file names and it uses
a lot of networking and file manipulation methods, such as
gethostname(), open()/read()/write().
So far, our application has been non-UNICODE and our clients around the
world were required to use English with our program.
Now we want to be more user-friendly and we want our program to "speak"
other languages. In other words, we want it to be UNICODE-compatible.
Are hostnames containing national symbols allowed? Can a file name
contain national symbols?
For example, can our HP-UX clients in Italy or Germany have a computer
name that contains national characters? Can our Russian clients have
files containing Russian national characters in a file name? We are not
talking about transliteration, but we want to accomodate a real life
situation. Please notice we are not going to give our comupters or
files UNICODE names, but we are wondering if HP-UX allows such naming
and if other people can potentially have national characters in named
system resources, such as hostname and file name.
Thank you,
Alona
