DOS Japanese crap

Does anyone have any idea how to get cmd.exe in Windows XP to correctly handle programs that want to output text in a Japanese character encoding?

I'm trying to use this 6502 assembler and it's giving me messages which I can't read and can't even determine the encoding of because it's munged them so badly. It's kind of annoying.

I'm aware this is kind of pushing it in terms of the scope of this community, so I won't be offended if the maintainers delete it.
