Keyword expansion and EOL conversion should work for all“ASCII-based” encodings, which include UTF-8, Cp1252, and so on. For the various UTF-16 encodings,StarTeam currently performs EOL conversion, but does not expand keywords.The internal names of custom fields must be ASCII, but the display names can be in non-English charactersets.Pre-installation Requirements for a New InstallationBefore you install StarTeam Server:1.
