Hi, Gunter!

 GS>>> Because it was programmed 30 years ago in the MS-DOS era :-)

 MvdV>> 30 years ago MS-DOS could already deal with CP866.

 GS> But not simultaneously with CP437 !!!

Why not?
CP437 (Codepage 437, DOSLatinUS) - code page used in the original version of the IBM PC since 1981. CP437 has served as a model for many other encodings, including an alternative encoding for the Russian language.

Have nice nights.
