NOTE
PC-DOS 3.3 allows you to switch between different code
pages, which contain the definitions of characters that are
displayed on the screen or produced by your printer. If you use
Canadian French, Norwegian, Danish, or Portuguese, you may want
to use code page switching to produce newly supported special
characters. The NLSFUNC command must be loaded before you use the
CHCP command.
