Lynx doesn't detect the codepage for the Windows port - that would be
something useful to submit a patch for.

Although this be old news, I mention

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Nls\CodePage
    ACP    REG_SZ (1)    1250
    OEMCP    REG_SZ (1)    852
    MACCP    REG_SZ (1)    10029

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Nls\CodePage
    ACP    REG_SZ (1)    1250
    OEMCP    REG_SZ (1)    852
    MACCP    REG_SZ (1)    10029

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage
    ACP    REG_SZ (1)    1250
    OEMCP    REG_SZ (1)    852
    MACCP    REG_SZ (1)    10029

This is system locale Polish, which calls for ISO-8859-2. As for USA-English, 
instead of 1250, 852, and 10029 it is 1252, 437, 10000. The value OEMCP shows 
with which code-page a command-line window upon spawning opens, but not which 
is in effect. I find key CurrentControlSet and values OEMCP and ACP under 
Win98, too. ("key" and "value" as used in the registry.)

I can write VBScript and JScript scripts to look at these values, but not C.
