Hello All !

We have an Oracle database on SCO Unix where we store 8-bit data (Russian text).
We use 866 code page, and everything work fine under Unix, providing NLS_LANG in
environment is set to EE8ISO8859P2 (this just allows to store 8 bit data).

We also want client Windows programs to
work in the same way. But Windows use
another character set (something like ??1251??), so in my opinion, Unix server must convert character data when it communicates with Windows client.

So the question is: how can we instruct
server to do such conversion.

     Any help is greatly appreciated.
