Are you just trying to list them in a DOS terminal and are finding they look wrong?

If so, then I'd suggest writing them to a file, then opening up that file in a standard Windows program like Notepad or Wordpad and seeing if they look right there. If so, then you should seriously consider having your script write to a file then launch notepad if you want to see the list. Or just having your script copy them. It should copy them and get the names right, even though they look wrong.

Incidentally character 133 is à in DOS CP 437. (This is the default DOS encoding.) And à is character 224 in Windows CP 1242 (Latin 1 - again a common default). Armed with that information, you hopefully can figure out the magic encoding invocation to do what you want. (I'd need to have Windows to figure it out and try it. I don't, so sorry.)
