Hi,
Personally I prefer the single-executable solution, rather than the
creation of several executables that may take many room in your disk.
Precisely I have recently finished debugging the new KEYB, that will
support single "KEYBOARD.SYS"-like data files, instead of multiple KL
files. So it's going in this opposite direction.
In my opinion, it is more worth to save several tens of KBs of disk
space for small distros than 1Kb of ram (nevertheless, ram optimisations
are scheduled for the future too).

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.
I don't know if you mean MS-DOS "old style" KEYB, that was splitted in
several different programs (KEYBUK.COM, KEYBSP.COM, KEYBGR.COM).
No, KEYBUK.COM is not Microsoft's. It's freely available for download.
All it does is to set up the keymap for UK keyboards but I think it
could be adapted for other countries' keymaps, perhaps compiling into a
small COM for each country using a template and a country keymap.
