I assume you have fox2x DOS on hand. If so use cpzero.prg to mark your fox2x tables with your DOS codepage.

In fox2x :
do home()+'\cpzero' with lcDBFName, nCodePage

If you don't have the file or fox2x you could do the same from VFP. Then :
do home()+'tools\cpzero\cpzero' with lcDBFName, nCodePage
