Scott,

In windows land you can do;

        char *currentLocaleSettings;
        char messageString[200];  // 200 should be enough

        // set locale to current operating system settings.
        // we need to do this as the compiler adds a
        // setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") into the prelogue code before
        // this (or any) program is executed
        setlocale( LC_ALL, "" );
        
        // now query what the setttings are...
        currentLocaleSettings = setlocale( LC_ALL, NULL );

        // format a message...
        sprintf(messageString, "Windows reports:\r\n\r\n    %s  \r\n\r\nas the 
current code page.",
                                                        currentLocaleSettings);

        // display findings...
        MessageBox( NULL, messageString, "Windows Code Page", MB_OK );

        return 0;

To get the Windows code page.
