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.
