Is this possible using VXCMD?

And if this is done, then using the example of creating Windows format
native db on Mac, would it be the case that text inserted on the Mac would
be assumed to be in MacRoman, and converted before storage into some Windows
format?  (And btw, what is the format that is used on Windows?  CP1250?
ISO-8859-1?  Or is it sensitive to the localisation of the version of
Windows?)
