That is to say you want codepage 1253 or ISO-8859-7 under MS-DOS. I dont
think you'll find them.
Under MS-DOS, the system codepage, the console codepage and the keyboard
codepage are supposed to match or, at least, not to be incompatible. Since
you can't specify cp 1253 in your "country" command in "config.sys", cp 1253
shouldn't be allowed, even if there is a cpi file containing it.
The only solution I see would be to "fool" the system, loading a pseudo-737
cpi file. As a result, all system operations except viewing the web would
become a mess, of course: first of all, filenames wouldn't appear correctly!
If you send me a copy of gauss.cpi, I might be able to determine which
codepages it contains (declares): I have an old version of "the Microsoft
MS-DOS programmer's reference guide" (in french!) which gives a full
technical description of the internal structure of .cpi files (until MS-DOS
5, but this must be ok). Theoretically, it would also be possible to... cut
and paste character bitmaps until we get a pseudo-737 cpi file (in reality,
1253). But again, any other solution would be better, of course.
