DOS codepage in SciTE under Linux

Question

I want to edit text files in old DOS code page (CP866 in my case) using SciTE.
But I cannot configure SciTE.

These parameters work excellently with Windows:

code.page=866
output.code.page=866
character.set=255

but do not work with Linux (I'm using Linux Mint).
SciTE for Linux shows symbols from another codepage, not 866.

What values should I assign to parameters code.page and character.set?

Answer 1

You need some patch for linux version of scite https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1019/ and then character.set will be 866 while code.page=0 (for single byte encodings)
