What is this bug?

Euphoria's dir() works properly for me.
It returns the pure Russian characters from
the extended ASCII table, cp866.

Another thing, dir and file names are in OEM
encoding, not in ANSI, so I have to recode them from
OEM(cp866) into ANSI(cp1251), if I want see them,
say, in NotePad under pure Windows encoding.

But anyway it is just Windows feature, not dir() bug,
I think. Correct me please, if I'm wrong.
