Lynx doesn't detect the codepage for the Windows port - that would be
something useful to submit a patch for.

I suppose you know about this,
        mov     ax,6601
        int     21h
after which the "active"-codepage number is returned in BX, and the default in 
DX, or, in muSoft C,
        union REGS inout;
        inout.x.ax = 0x6601;
        intdos(inout, inout);
after which it is found in inout.x.bx or inout.x.dx. Under Vista, though, the 
same is returned in both registers, integer from the string datum that goes 
with (under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage) value OEMCP in 
the registry. It seems to me that neither CHCP nor MODE CON CP SELECT does 
anything beyond verifying the operand and keeping it for later showing. That 
registry string value (from "Language for non-Unicode programs") upon booting 
actually determines which codepage is used when a command-line window is 
spawned.

I am not up to making a patch out of this. I counted on Kaufman s versions.
