So I was thinking, what if cygwin supported codepage 437 in this manner? Since that is the "OEM" codepage, then we'd have a workaround of sorts if we discovered a need later for the "old" codepage:oem setting.
So, I compiled your test app using 'gcc -mno-cygwin', and did the following from a DOS box (WinXP): H:\>codep ANSI codepage: 1252 Latin-1, ok... H:\>chcp 437 Active code page: 437 but then... H:\>codep ANSI codepage: 1252 huh? Does GetACP really get the "active" code page? -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
