Hi Michael,

Although I have never had to change a code page from the default 457 on oz 
version of Windows , you can do it from the command window before running DP, 
eiher inteactively or in a batch file, or by setting it in the autoexec file 
for the MS-DOS shortcut.

The utility to change Code page is CHCP, which if executed without a parameter 
returns the code page or if executed CHCP xxx set the code page to the 
parameter. 

When you set up a Shortcut to an MS-DOS program, within its Properties, from 
the Advanced Button on the Program tab, you can set the Config.sys and 
Autoexec.bat files. By default on WINNT and derivatives it will use two default 
files CONFIG.NT and AUTOEXEC.NT located in the Windows\System32 folder. You can 
either edit the Autoexec.NT file directly or if you only want to change the 
codepage (or other setting) for that instance you can specify a different 
autoexec which you have added the necessary CHCP xxx setting. Probably easiest 
is it to copy the original AUTOEXEC.NT edit the copy and seting the properties 
in the shortcut to use it instead.

Regards
Brian
