Remarks
Note that CPConvert( ) isn't required for normal cross-platform functioning of the product. It is used strictly to access the underlying translation facilities of X#. For example, if the variable gcCharExpr contains a character that looks like on the Macintosh (in code page 10000) then CPConvert( ) will return a character that looks like in Microsoft Windows (code page 1252):
X#
1CPConvert(10000, 1252, gcCharExpr)
