You did not answer Jon's question, but it was critical -
in what _program_ your user opens a text file with DOS Cyrillic?
I am working with Cyrillic encodings since 1995 :) so I dealt
with most of them, including CP-866.
The easiest way in your scenario would be:
Open that DOS Cyrillic .txt file in MS Word 2000 or newer,
choosing "Cyrillic (DOS)" encoding in the process:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep.../cp_e.htm#open
Now your user should see normal Russian text - in Unicode already
converted by Word and can paste it itno your text box.
Otherwise, if you try to open a file that contains text in
DOS Cyrillic encoding in some regular MS Windows text editor,
you *will* see just gibberish - editor expects one of _Windows_
encodings, not a DOS one.
There are many more ways to get it done, say converter programs that
make "Cyrillic(Windows), 1251" text from your DOS Cyrillic text,
I18n-aware editors that - as Word - offer you to specify explicitely
what is the encoding of your file - such as
http://www.esperanto.mv.ru/UniRed/ENG/
etc., etc.
