At the MS_DOS prompt, type "chcp" <Enter> to see the active code page. You can also use this command to change the active code page.

Hi,

Do you have any idea what is the default code page and encoding scheme for MS DOS box in WinNT 4? Is there any command that can give me the info? I am trying to input a string say "fráç" at the prompt, wondering how the characters are encoded.

How about at the Unix (Solaris 2.6) prompt, what's the default and how to change?

Thanks.

Will
