title: C++ ':chcp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
body: <p>(<em>Before the question: I would appreciate if someone wouldn't flag this thread as a duplicate because as much as I searched there wasn't anything close to my problem, only other programming languages and compilers or different OS's</em>)</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Dev C++ and I was after debuging a program with greek characters (<code>system("chcp 1253");</code>)at the output, but when I ran it, all the characters were unreadable and this message above was seen:</p>

  <p>Based on some pretty close questions on the web (<a href="https://resource.dopus.com/t/chcp-error-running-batch-file/5219" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/railsinstaller/w7i1GFSkQqo" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8142058/chcp-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command-operable-program-or">here</a>) I though that my path was also broken, so I checked it out with "check chcp" on cmd, where it showed the proper path (c:\Windows\System32\chcp.com).</p>

  <p>Has anyone else has come up with the same issue?</p>
