Hi again,

Under my Vista file names are encoded with cp-1251 code page (Win Cyrillic). But DOSBox treats them as if they were in cp-866 (DOS Cyrillic) which results in wrongly displayed file names (e.g. if using DIR shell cmd). How can I fix this (any clue on modifying the sources?) ?

Thanks for your help,

You can't fix this.

Anyway, can you point out the place in source code where file names are read? I believe I can insert there a function to convert the encoding. Why not?

Thanks,

There's no such function "where filenames are read".
Other than that, check the file functions (int21/whatever) and trace down
to all the functions that deal with fopen/stat/others.
