Hello. There are times when it's very convenient to change Windows console codepage using chcp.com, for example, an interactive ssh session to a host with a different codepage used. Unfortunately, the current release of cygwin enforces either of the two main codepages, ansi or oem, to be used, mainly because of considerations of their importance for filename and clipboard conversions, etc. There's a patch attached, it extends functionality of the `codepage' option, set in CYGWIN environment variable, to allow for setting no codepage translation of console input and output. The way the option should look now is codepage=ansi|oem[:con-asis] If con-asis suboption is specified, console input and output goes unchanged. Hope this helps someone. -- /Awesome Walrus <walrus@amur.ru>
