     I don't know this (899/8990) code pages. Standard Russian code pages
are COUNTRY=7,866 under DOS and "ANSI"=1251/"OEM"=866 under Windows. But I
suppose this code pages are with ligatures...

     Also I know ISO defined 8859-5 code page for Russia and it is not
selected for Windows only because first localizers don't hear about it and
define slightly different 1251 code page.

     Anyway, I don't big expert in code pages. :)
