I believe you mean "console programs and GUI programs", not "DOS
programs and Windows programs", is that right?
Right. Native Windows console programs tend to use the DOS codepage
corresponding to the user's locale. But I think ports of GNU tools are
likely to use the equivalent ISO encoding (especially Cygwin, which
ignores Windows and runs in its own world), and since these are very
useful and widely used by Emacs users, I wouldn't want to fix on the DOS
codepage for process I/O.
