OObase (and ANY other database connectivity layer I know of) lacks support for
the "CP737" character set (DOS/OS2 codepage for Greek) which is needed to read
legacy greek .DBF (dBase/Clipper/xBase) databases. CP737 is still wildly in use
(due to millions of DOS apps still out there).
Searching through the source tree I found IBM's ICU which contains CP737
mappings to Unicode, but I couldn't locate what to fiddle to get things working.

Merry christmas and a happy new year!
