Hi people! Is there any software wich gives UTF-8 support to DOS? I often copy Linux text files (which are UTF8 encoded) to my DOS computer and have *big* problems to read them. Not only because of the LF/CR difference between DOS and Unix worlds, by mostly because of the different support of extended characters. I often use french, polish and russian characters in one file, that why the UTF8 standard is pretty usefull to me... It would be ideal if there were such a DOS "codepage" available, which would be able to do an instant translation of the two-bytes linux special characters and display them on the DOS display in a human-readable way...
I'm also trying to set up a cyrillic support in my FreeDOS instalation (i'm currently learning russian), but I couldn't set it :( I tried the standard stuff with MODE CON CP PREPARE & MODE CON CP SELECT and a EGA?.CPX file (don't remember exactly which CPX file, but it was described as supporting russian), but it don't seem to change anything... Maybe is there a russian guy who might give me his FreeDOS autoexec / config files? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Fox Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
