mac support of windows code pages

Question

I'm trying to port some legacy systems from windows to OSX and have come across the need for windows code pages. Is there any support for them in OSX? I haven't been able to find anything talking about them from quick googling so I assume they are not but I figured I would ask around.

NSString supports many Classic Mac, DOS/Windows, and ISO encodings. See String Encodings in the NSString documentation.

The complete list of supported string encodings is in CFStringEncodingExt.h.
