Re: [Freedos-user] KEY language specification for custom keyboard layout?
Hello there! The documentation for the KEY language is included within the KC/KLIB binary distribution: DOC\KC\KEY.TXT For some reason, I am no longer able to find the distribution of KC/KLIB within Ibiblio or GitLab (maybe Jerome can help?) But fortunately, there is an online copy at: http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/freedos/files/dos/keyb/2.0/ the file being KC200X.ZIP If you want to modify an existing KEY file, you need the package above for the compiler, and the sources for the KEY files, that they exist in ibiblio: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/keyb/kblayout/kpdos-3.1/ Thanks and sorry for the delay, Aitor On Mon, 29 Feb 2016 at 22:42, John Hupp wrote: > Thanks for the confirmation.

Re: [Freedos-user] KEY language specification for custom keyboard layout [SOLVED]
OK, I found that at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/keyb/ there is a critical little difference between the contents of the v2.0 and v2.01 directories. 2.01 does not contain the KC zip packages. 2.00 does, and the DOC directories of the KC packages contain a KEY.TXT file that documents the KEY language. And in addition %FDOS%\DOC\KEY.TXT exists in a default FreeDOS 1.1 installation. This answers my question about the documentation I was looking for, but after delving into it I conclude that it wouldn't address the issue I was looking at. But I'll post about that separately.

Re: [Freedos-user] KEY language specification for custom keyboard layout?
Thanks for the confirmation. I already looked at the DOC folders for the KEYB and KC packages and found no help on this question there, so I'll hope that Aitor checks in with an answer.
