RE: cyrillic console


Hi,

Im not to sure about changing codepage, something to do with the CYGWIN
environment variable (codepage:???).

On the latter if your having problems building the dll use the instructions
from http://cygwin.com/cvs.html to get the sources and
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC103 as a guide on how to build the
dll. Ive just re-built the dll again today so the source is buildable. A
hint on building the cygwin1.dll and associated utilities:

cd /path/to/build
/path/to/source/configure --prefix=/path/to/install
make
make install

Subject: cyrillic console


Currently, the character set in cyrillic console seems to be cp1251, 
while in cmd.exe it is cp866. Nothing too wrong with this, except that 
cp1251 lacks pseudographic symbols.
I am using cygwin to run tin 1.4 with codepage translation table from 
koi8-r to cp1251. So the pseudographics does not survive this translation.

If the codepage is altered from cp866 to cp1251, is that correct that it 
is easy to convert instead to koi8-r? Why not make this customizable?
I've tried to build some release of cygwin dll but didn't succeed yet... 
well I'll keep trying if it worth it. Perhaps I need to update all 
utilities to newest versions?
