Can someone explain the "codepage" settings so I can give an accurate
explanation in the UG?
I don't think I've ever seen an overall explanation of possible values
with the advantages and drawbacks of each. (I'm assuming there are
drawbacks to codepage:oem or else it would just be turned on.)
By the way, we've had several questions about non-us character sets in
Cygwin--is this related? I could also add something about that (I think
there is already something about the .inputrc settings.)
