    I'd be happy to add it to the names you may pass instead of the code page IDs. CONVERTCP relies on the installed code pages on you computer though. Can you help out with the code page ID that the MIK charset has?

    MIK it's unique CP ,work only under BG DOS, dont understand your question about ID!
    If ask for name - MIK, MIC or Bulgaria MIK.
    In this archived page have more info ( BG language, sorry! ):

    Every codepage that is supported on Windows has an ID, such like 855. See ...
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_855
    ... which is not the same like MIK as I understood. CONVERTCP does not contain any character maps (translation tables from the bytes that represent a character to the related Unicode code points). Thus, only code pages that are installed on Windows are supported by CONVERTCP.
    Do you know whether or not MIK is installed on Windows? If it is installed it has to have a code page ID which you could use along with CONVERTCP.

    Understand, thank u, not luck with convertcp. MIK not have for windows, only for DOS. Me start old programs under dosbox and load old cyrillic drivers (MIK) for write on cyrillic.
    Here have few drivers ( if u wanna look what is strange CP).

    I'm certainly able to write a little separate tool for you that implements MIK. But to which code page do you want to convert it?

    Hello,

    The /l switch doesn't works on french edition of Windows XP Pro SP3.

    Tested with the latest build 6.4.

    Best regards

    Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately I can't test myself on XP anymore. Can you explain more specific what output you get?

      Nothing, just a return to the prompt.

    To the thread starter: If you are still interested, version 7 supports MIK. See https://sourceforge.net/projects/convertcp/files/custom%20charsets/

    Version 7.1 is supposed to fix the broken option /l on XP. Any feedback appreciated.

    Oh yes, that's a severity bug. I forgot to support 0 and 1 in the 7th versions. Will be fixed with the next release. Thank you!

      Fixed in version 7.2.

      This version also contains custom conversions from and to UTF-8. That's because Microsoft's API function didn't conform with the Unicode standard on XP and performed a CESU-8-like conversions.
