Try chcp in a DOS BOX, this shows you the active code page in command
prompt.
(on my XP it shows me 850 which is cp850)
From the command prompt of my win98 box:
C:\WINDOWS>chcp
Active code page: 850
C:\WINDOWS>mode con cp
Active code page for device CON is 850
Prepared code pages:
code page 850
MODE status code page function completed
You can get this info programatically in perl using Win32::Console,
which you should do, as you have no guarantee that any particular
console is actually using cp850.
C:\WINDOWS>perl -MWin32::Console -e "print Win32::Console::OutputCP()"
850
