You suppose this is windows, who responsible for this substitution? This thought had not visited my head... I thought substitution is performed by cygwin...

How could I check this?

As I wrote earlier, I preset proper codepage in windows console (by mode con cp select=1251 or 866 or 437 at last) - and when I am trying to view file, written in CP1251 by

cp msg.txt con - then I view it all right,
but with
cp msg.txt /dev/tty - I view it as a sequence of "aaeieii?oeiaaaieieia"

Could you suppose, how can I find exactly where this nasty substitution occurs?

Rodion
