Programming With the Text Encoding Conversion ManagerThe Text Encoding Conversion Manager provides 68K static libraries that include the Unicode Converter and Basic Text functions. You can use the static libraries if you do not want to use the CFM 68K version. The static libraries are provided directly to you for you to link into your applications, whereas the shared libraries that require the Code Fragment Manager are distributed with Mac OS, beginning with Mac OS 8. These static libraries use resources from the Text Encoding Converter extension and from the files in the Text Encodings folder, so both must be present whether you use the CFM 68K Unicode Converter or the 68K shared libraries.
Clients of the 68K static libraries must explicitly initialize and terminate the Unicode Converter using the functions described in this section. Initialization and termination are handled automatically for CFM clients.
