Description: Wrong Greek ISO-encoding assignment
Details:

Dear Sirs,

I have been using your marvellous product for sometime now and I have come
across a rather unusual bug.

It is supposed that Greek ISO-encoding is ISO-8859-7.
For some unknown reason from version 8.1 it is encoded as ISO-8859-6 which
is normally used by Arabic language and ISO-8859-7 produces Hebrew. It is
probably a one codepage shift left.

Please correct it or let me know what is really happening

I think it gets the encoding from the XP system settings.

Unfortunately it has the same behaviour both under Windows 2000 and XP alike!

To confirm my suspicion I have concurrently used EnterpriseDB in both enviroments,
which works perfectly well with ISO-8859-7 for Greek.

I would very much appreciate if you could take another look to this issue!
