Excuse me, if it is not correct mailing list to post this message (if so,
please point me to the right one).
The problem is:
I'm trying to build small utility program written in plane C with gcc under
Win98/Cygwin (since it should run under command.com I use -mnocygwin).
Among other things my utility must print to the stdout short text string from a
text file, generated by another program. This text is in Russian language and
uses Windows encoding (1251). Here I get the problem: instead of normal Russian
text I see on the screen absolutely wrong symbols! :-(
If I write the same text in the same encoding in a shell script (for example
echo Это русский текст) and run it under Cygwin - everything is Ok! But the
C-program can not make the right output using printf().
May be somebody can give me an advice, how I can change the C-source in order
to get the correct output. (To tell the truth I am not very familiar with all
these locale things).
