Codepages work quite well. I use codepage 857 and 1254, DOS and WINDOWS ANSI Turkish respectively. Whether entry is done at DOS or WINDOWS you get the right view. In fact 8 of our characters have different codes in DOS and WINDOWS. I think you should also set your Windows to Greek mode to see the difference. Maybe you won't able to do it, if your Windows is not Pan European edition. In this case I could try it for you. Just let me know. The rest is just apperance, set your DBF to codepage 1253 and add CODEPAGE=1253 in config.fpw (do NOT trust CODEPAGE=AUTO !).
