Hi there, I just noticed that the character set used by KEYUKR is not standard - at least according to IBM-DOS codepage 1125.
It is a mixture of IBM-DOS/MS-DOS russian codepage 866 and IBM-DOS ukrainian codepage 1125. It comprehends all the ukrainian and russian characters in the same codepoints as 1125 but it provides two characters (middle dot, square root) from russian codepage 866 and superscript 2 - which is not available on any official IBM or MS-DOS cyrillic codepage. On that codepoint (#253) it should be found the international currency sign instead, as it is both on cp866 and cp1125. So, I ask: do you need the middle dot (codepoint #250), the square root (codepoint #251) and the superscript 2 (codepage #253) or could I stick to the characters officially assigned to codepage 1125, which are respectively the division sign, plus/minus sign and the international currency sign? If I can stick to codepage 1125, fine. If I should use those other 3 characters instead, I could provide a distinct ukrainian codepage which would comply with keyukr - however, it would not be named "1125". I would provide another codepage number and it would be referred to in the documentation. Furthermore, I was not able to switch to the cyrillic layout when I tried KEYUKR. I tried both <Left_Alt> + <Right_Shift> (as you said) and <Left_Alt> + <Left_Shift> but KEYUKR didn't switch to the cyrillic layout. I tried "KEYUKR /HELP" (which is in plain english) and "KEYUKR /HELP:RUS" and both explanations were not clear to me, as to how to switch between the latin and the cyrillic modes. I would appreciate help on how to do that. Thanks in advance.
