DOS Japanese crap

[tgies]

Does anyone have any idea how to get cmd.exe in Windows XP to correctly handle programs that want to output text in a Japanese character encoding?

I'm trying to use this 6502 assembler and it's giving me messages which I can't read and can't even determine the encoding of because it's munged them so badly. It's kind of annoying.

it works for me when I change the default "Language for Non-Unicode Programs" under Control Panel > Regional and Language Settings > Advanced to Japanese
