This codeunit converts between the Navision internal character set (The windows OEM set) and the windows Ansi character set. The most common use for this is in conjunction with dataports, but, it is needed in several other places such as File variables, BLOBS and any other external interface that bypasses Navision's character conversions.

This will work for all Navision languages and needs only the Navision standard hash DLL for configuration.

Known codepage pairs in windows.
1250 852 - CE
1251 855 - Serbian (old Russian)
1251 866 - RU
1252 437 - US
1252 850 - WE
1253 737 - Greek
1254 857 - Turkish
1255 862 - Hebrew
1256 720 - Arabic
1257 775 - Baltic

Also any language where the Ansi and OEM codepages are the same will work correctly.
