Hi,

I found that FreeDOS unable to handle "DBCS", those Chinese and
Japanese Windows always have this kind of characters as folder and
filename, that need to FORMAT, lots of trouble
Portuguese version. Not too many strange characters...
Single byte European characters should be OK. Since most of them < 128
ASCII, Chinese and Japanese use up all 255.
I would not say so, specially for languages using diacritics (éö etc),
that is basically to say other languages than English. Even the pound
sign I seem to recall not to be ASCII, which amounts to say that ASCII
is just perfect fit in the United States, where it was invented. For
most European countries ASCII is too narrow, you need a full codepage.
In western countries (roughly speaking, you exclude cyrilic and greek),
codepage 850 (or better, 858 = 850+EURO) should be preferred.
Incidentally, I am not much an expert on Asian language representation,
but I have understood that for Japanese only, you can live with a
keyboard driver that produces single=byte characters, and the FEP
program would convert that to Japanese charset as appropriate. This will
be one of the new features to be supported by next FD-KEYB, amongst many
others. As far as I know, there's unfortunately nothing to do about
Chinese and Korean, altough I might be wrong.
I have the english version all nicely wrapt up in GPL package. But...
last version is not compiling in english. I will send you one soon.
Thank you very much!
Because the FREE DELTREE always refuse to work properly.
You mean FD DELTREE? perhaps you should register this to bugzilla.
