Note: In CX-Supervisor version 1.25 and earlier the user defined text was stored in files with a
.USL extension. These files are in MBCS format. For backwards compatibility, if these files
still exist they will be loaded as MBCS and converted to Unicode temporarily for the
duration of the runtime. For this conversion to succeed, the operating system must be
configured to support displaying and converting the original language. To permanently
