Folks,
I'm supporting an OI 2.61 application that is marketed worldwide.
I'm looking for a way to remap any user-inputted characters from 250-255 on the fly. I realize the CHARMAP system property is what I need, but that was not introduced until 3.1, and unfortunately we will be stuck with 2.61 for some time.
Many times I've found that a feature introduced in later versions of OI was actually available in a more obscure way in 2.61. Is there actually CHARMAP functionality buried somewhere in 2.61?
Perhaps it's possible to exploit the LND_INTERNATIONAL record in some way?

The CHARMAP functionality is not present in 2.61. I know that other means of accomplishing this have been employed, but I am not sure how. Andrew McCauley/Sprezzatura was able to support certain character sets using the VB (VarBinary) iconv/oconv.
