You could also try using NANSI.SYS- it allows you to redefine character
sets on the fly- but only for output done via DOS, not via BIOS.
(Fortunately, buffered, raw DOS output with NANSI is about ten times faster 
than BIOS output, so you don't lose any speed that way.)
It's public domain, and should be easy to find.
