Hi all, I was setting up my old 486 last weekend, and I had some hard time getting all the 'COUNTRY.SYS' preferences right. I mean, who on earth thought that providing pre-compiled sets of preferences is better than simply asking the user to set each preference himself?
I might have an odd taste, but what I like is not present in COUNTRY.SYS, there's always at least one setting that bothers me. This motivated me to create a new tool, that I called localcfg. This tool provides a neat way of telling what YOU would like your DOS to look like, setting all the settings below independently from each other: - decimal separator - thousands separator - currency - time/date format - ... How does it work? You provide localcfg with all the preferences you like, and localcfg generates a custom COUNTRY.SYS-compatible file tailored for you. Then, it's only a matter of including it from within your CONFIG.SYS via the usual COUNTRY=xyz directive. localcfg can be downloaded here: http://localcfg.sourceforge.net or from ibiblio: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.1/repos/util/localcfg.zip or directly installed using FDNPKG: fdnpkg install localcfg cheers, Mateusz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
