AS/U provides European character support for Windows 95 and Windows NT clients. AS/U also supports MS-DOS and Windows 3.x clients using PC437, PC850, or PC861 code pages. To enable European character support for Windows 95 and Windows NT, which includes applications running in DOS-PROMPT windows under these environments, the AS/U server must be started with the environment variable LANG set to the appropriate HP-UX locale. For example, for German characters support:
export LANG=de_DE.iso88591 net start server

or
Set the lanman.ini parameter [lmxserver]lang=de_DE.iso88591, then type:
net start server.

The lanman.ini parameter [lmxserver]lang may be used to override the LC_CTYPE setting of the LANG variable. The default for this entry is "", which will take the locale from the HP-UX LANG variable. HP recommends that you explicitly set the lanman.ini parameter [lmxserver]lang to the desired locale to prevent accidentally starting AS/U in an incorrect locale.

To enable European character support for MS-DOS and Windows 3.x clients, and certain 16-bit Windows applications running under Windows 95, the following lanman.ini parameter has been added to AS/U: [hpparms] msdoscodepage=437

Following are the currently supported values for this parameter: msdoscodepage=437 MS-DOS Latin US (default)
msdoscodepage=850
MS-DOS Latin 1
msdoscodepage=861
MS-DOS Icelandic

The AS/U server must be running in an ISO8859-1 locale for meaningful mapping of the selected European [hpparms]msdoscodepage parameter.

The AS/U server must be restarted for the [hpparms]msdoscodepage parameter change to take effect. See appendix in this guide for information on how to change keywords in the lanman.ini file.

You cannot administer resource permissions on shares that contain German umlauts in their names from the Windows 95 Explorer. Permissions can be administered if the resource is accessed through the Network Neighborhood. Microsoft has acknowledged this behavior but has indicated that it is by design, and no fixes will be forthcoming.
