Q: console app on German Win9* - '^' character, etc


A console (i.e. MSDOS prompt) application is built with cygwin 1.1.8
and works fine on English Win9*, when started from MSDOS prompt.
However, if the system is German Win9*, one cannot input such characters
like '^' there at all, while this is a crucial feature.
Similar problems were reported for Win9* with some other non-English
keyboards.
(the application is question is called GAP, see
http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~gap/)

Is there a known solution to this problem?
(as expected, everything works fine on WinNT and Win2000)

Would it help if it is built with -mno-cygwin option,
and uses <conio.h>, etc.,  stuff?
  
Thanks in advance,
