Hi Alex,


Working on penultimate versions of DISPLAY and KEYB already :)

There's a very small program that sets up the UK keymap; KEYBUK.COM, which is only 432 bytes long. I use this instead of KEYB to squeeze as much as memory as possible out of the UMBs.


KEYB is meant to be universal, supporting all possible and impossible
keyboard layouts with the help of separate definition files. The last
limitation that I remember is that you cannot say "scancode ... should
be treated as AltGr key" or otherwise redefine shift keys themselves.

Sorry, I cannot understand this, can you explain a little bit?

If you want a SMALL keyboard driver, I can really recommend MKEYB
(see freedos.org software list). This has more than 20 built-in
keyboard layouts, is a single small file on disk (7kb UPXed) and
has very small memory footprint (512 bytes).

True. The only problems you may come across come if you do (unfrequent) operations such as playing with different codepages, as AFAIK MKEYB layouts are bounded to a single codepage each.

Aitor
