Hi,

I use cygwin 1.7.5 and run backups from Windoze to my Linux server by using 
BackupPC.
I want to set the windows character set within the backuppc configuration 
for preventing me from this filename renamings (e.g. the german "ü" will be 
replaced by "?")

But how to determine the windows character set?
chcp will only deliver the code page (850 in one of my clients).
But I need something like "cp1252"

Is there a program within cygwin which would resolve my pain ;-)

br
Matthias
