Can you be more specific?  What do you mean by "bombs?"  Is it just that
open() is returning -1?  Or is something more serious happening?

If open() is returning -1, then you need to check errno to see what the
error message is.  Have you done that?  What was the error?

It seems unlikely that the codepage would be a problem.  Certainly, 437
(which is US-ASCII for MS-DOS) is a valid code page.   However, if you
really think that's the problem, you might try a few different ones --
since it's very easy to do so --  A few that you might try are 819
(ISO-8859-1, used for the Latin 1 character set in most Unix machines) or
1252 (Windows ASCII used in USA/Canada/most of Western Europe)

But, I doubt very much that the code page is the problem.  You need more
information, and to get that, you'll probably want to check errno.
