ABSTRACT:
An external character management apparatus is provided for collectively managing external characters in a distributed system which is constituted by multiple platforms using different code systems. A desired code system is set in advance as an external character management code system. When external characters in a distributor's external character file are recorded by external character recording means or external characters stored in external character management file storing means are fetched by external character fetching means, code converting means converts the external character codes to corresponding codes of an external character management file or of a distribute's system in accordance with a character code conversion table if the code system of the distributor's system or distribute's system differs from the external character management code system, and stores the converted external characters in the external character management file storing means or in a distributee's external character file. External character transforming means performs conversion of data format or size with the aid of data format converting means and records the converted data in the external character management file storing means, and external character editing means permits editing of an external character management file stored in the external character management file storing means.
