The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: If you want to retrieve files containing Russian characters that were created in a third party Russian program, you must export the Russian file to a DOS text file using the Russian Code Page, which is 866 for WP. You then need to start WordPerfect with the startup option WP/CP=866 and use Ctrl-F5 to retrieve the file. If you wish to save a Russian text file to DOS format, you must also start WP with WP/CP=866 and use Ctrl-F5 to save the file. DOS values are converted to WordPerfect characters differently depending on the code page number (cp) you are using. As the default code page number in the U.S. (437) does not convert Cyrillic characters, WordPerfect Corporation created code page 866 based on an emerging standard for DOS assignments in the U.S.S.R. The WordPerfect values for Cyrillic characters are shown in WP character set 10 in Appendix P of the WordPerfect Reference Manual.
