Release Notes final
=======================

PBOS plug-in name: There is now an environment variable, 1505, which can be
used to set the name of the PBOS plug-in to be loaded. If this variable isn't
set in the PBOS environment file, the PBOS will default to the old behavior
and try to load a plug-in called 'pbosrv.so'.

PBOS character set: You can now set the PBOS character set. This is done by
setting the environment variable 388 in the PBOS environment file to the name
of a PrimeBase Unicode file. The PBOS doesnt do charter conversion itself
but it needs to report the character set of the data being returned to the
client so that the client can do the correct charter conversion when
required. The character set to use is plug-in dependent but will normally be
the native charter set for the platform on which the PBOS is running. The
PrimeBase Unicode file specified must exist on the client application's
Unicode directory for conversions to take place. If no Unicode file is
specified in the PBOS's environment file then the client will accept the data
as is without doing any conversions.
