Remarks
DosPFSInit is intended for use only by applications that replace the spooler
as a print monitor and that do code page switching. Other applications should
use printer IOCTLs to manipulate printer code page switching.
DosPFSInit is located in SPOOLCP.DLL (not DOSCALLS.LIB) and requires an
import statement in the module definition file. Refer to the IBM Operating
System/2 Version 1.2 Building Programs, Module Definition File Statements
section for information regarding the import statement.
Return values are:
- Code page switcher already initialized
- User entered too many ROMs in DEVINFO, initialization
continued with the rest
- Wrong or missing font file ID
- Code page switcher internal error
