Dear developer list, could anyone please help me out with a config.sys/autoexec.bat implementation of NLS-specific settings? I'm horribly confused by how startup files should look, as to my knowledge we've got the following: * COUNTRY in config.sys (harddisk installation) versus no such setting (bootdisks, as the file takes up too much space) * stable kernels (no COUNTRY support) versus unstable kernels (experimental COUNTRY support) * official MSDOS way of codepage setting versus FreeDOS adhoc settings (NLSFUNC related?)
This involves the following: * COUNTRY= (config.sys, COUNTRY.SYS / COUNTRY2.SYS / COUNTRY3.SYS) * DISPLAY (a TSR by Aitor, versus device driver in MSDOS) * NLSFUNC (with optional COUNTRY support, but only if not listed in config.sys yet?) * MODE versus MODECON versus different configurations whether or not COUNTRY= is set? * CHCP (internal command to FreeCOM) * KEYB (and CPI/CPX files) I'd like to add above in a working configuration for a FreeDOS 1.1 (work-in-progress) including kernel 2040 (stable, with support for nlsfunc/country) but so many settings to consider it's hurting my head. Along with that there's ofcourse a few more annoying issues: * DEVLOAD /H (devload 3.21) bails out entirely of loading a device driver in no-UMB environments. I dislike having to make 2 or more entries for simply loading a CD driver. Non-optimal result thus for options 1 and 2 * EDIT 0.9a prints its version and DFLAT banner at every invocation. * FreeCOM unfortunately allows environment variables to end with empty spaces instead of stripping them. * I'm not sure which version of SHARE to include, there's quite a few of them floating around the internet Bernd (FD)CONFIG.SYS so far: !COUNTRY=001,437,C:\FDOS\BIN\COUNTRY.SYS !SET DOSDIR=C:\FDOS !LASTDRIVE=Z !BUFFERS=20 !FILES=40 !MENUCOLOR=7,0 MENUDEFAULT=1,5 MENU 1 - Load FreeDOS with JEMMEX, no EMS (most UMBs), max RAM free MENU 2 - Load FreeDOS with EMM386+EMS and SHARE MENU 3 - Load FreeDOS including HIMEM XMS-memory driver MENU 4 - Load FreeDOS without drivers 123?DOS=HIGH 12?DOS=UMB 12?DOSDATA=UMB 1?DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMMEX.EXE NOEMS X=TEST 2?DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\HIMEMX.EXE 2?DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\JEMM386.EXE X=TEST I=B000-B7FF 3?DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\XMGR.SYS 3?SHELL=C:\FDOS\BIN\4DOS.COM C:\FDOS\BIN /E:1024 /P:C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT 4?SHELL=C:\FDOS\BIN\COMMAND.COM C:\FDOS\BIN /E:1024 /P=C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT 12?SHELLHIGH=C:\FDOS\BIN\COMMAND.COM C:\FDOS\BIN /E:1024 /P=C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT Autoexec.bat so far: @echo off SET LANG=EN SET PATH=%dosdir%\BIN SET NLSPATH=%dosdir%\NLS SET HELPPATH=%dosdir%\HELP SET TEMP=%dosdir%\TEMP SET TMP=%dosdir%\TEMP SET WATTCP.CFG=%dosdir% SET MTCPCFG=%dosdir%\MTCP.CFG SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 SET DIRCMD=/P /OGN /4 if "%config%"=="4" goto end DOSLFN SHSUCDX /QQ /D3 IF EXIST FDBOOTCD.ISO LH SHSUCDHD /Q /F:FDBOOTCD.ISO LH FDAPM APMDOS if "%config%"=="2" LH SHARE MOUSE DEVLOAD /Q %dosdir%\BIN\UIDE.SYS /D:FDCD0001 /S5 ShsuCDX /QQ /~ /D:?SHSU-CDH /D:?FDCD0001 /D:?FDCD0002 /D:?FDCD0003 goto end :end MEM /C /N if not "%config%"=="" SHSUCDX /D SET CFGFILE=C:\FDCONFIG.SYS SET AUTOFILE=%0 alias reboot=fdapm warmboot alias halt=fdapm poweroff echo Done processing startup files %cfgfile% and %0 echo Type HELP to get support on commands and navigation echo. echo Welcome to the FreeDOS 1.1 operating system (http://www.freedos.org) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
