Yes, I do have a US Windows XP, but your binaries for 1.3.2 seem to
work fine (I see the umlaut or whatever it is) and if I force the
output encoding to CP1252 while debugging then it works also. Very
strange...for some reason I'm getting CP437 from VC2005 binaries but I
don't understand how that could be since GetConsoleCP is a Win32 API
(not a C runtime API). I wonder if there is some preprocessor version
definition or something in VC2005 that changed and is affecting it?
