Hello there.

I am having a problem. When I export a file from Clipper (a file.txt) the language is messed up (I am using my native language - Greek - ). Although I can see and write in greek all way in the program and in the DOSbox terminal fine (adding the codepage like that -userconf -c "KEYB el459 737"). What's the exact problem for this?! (my operating system is Win8 Greek).

Does anyone has a greek language file (greek.lang ?! )

Thank you in advance.

I see the DOSBox d/l page doesn't list a greek language file, not even an outdated one.

If you want to contribute a greek language file, which would be very appreciated, just use the command

1config -writelang /PathToTheNewfile.lang

and edit the file accordingly. 😀

Thank you very much for your reply my friend.

Where's the specific details for creating a readable from DOSbox language file?!

Cheers.

The command above has to be given from inside DOSBox.

The only source about creating a language file I can find is this one:

Thank you again for your reply but I need a help file to tell me how to relate the characters to the ASCII code (understandable to the DOSBox).

Thank you again.

I can understand if there are problems displaying Greek characters in the emulated DOS, but isn't DOSBox itself Unicode?

Maybe the problem is the cooperation with Clipper and Unicode, I don't know exactly....

I could build a language file if there's any specific details available...
