If not, how should it be?
MODE CON CP SEL=858 is redundant with CHCP 858. The correct one in this case is CHCP, which changes the codepage globally (MODE CON CP SEL would only change it for the CONSOLE). > 2) Why's KEYB 2.0 crashing under JEMMEX? (see below #1) > 3) Why's KEYB 2.0 crashing when clean booting? (see below #2) I captured a couple of bugs within KEYB 2.0 final, but my question is: why are you using the Pre4, instead of the 2.0 FINAL? I am a bit pressed for time this week, then will be off till august. If I happen to find time for the 2.01 release, I'll let you know, to see if it works better for you. > 4) Why's NLSFUNC 0.4 not throwing errorlevel 1 or so when already installed? This one I don't know (I don't know its implementation details) > 5) DISPLAY seems to be able to be loaded lots of time in a row? You mean that you can load it twice? In theory, you could load it to work with different hardware. In practice, you never have (e.g.) an VGA card and an EGA card at the same time. If that bothers you, use /C. > 6) Why's CHCP choking?

Unfortunately, due to DISPLAY being a TSR, both MODE and NLSFUNC should be tuned with it. If the NLSFUNC version you are using is not liked by DISPLAY, then you can replace CHCP with MODE CON CP SELECT, which is not very good, because kernel will not know about the codepage change (and you could have problems with turning filenames into the uppercase, and storing them in FAT). > 7) Isn't CHCP supposed to be replacing MODE CON CP SEL ? Yes. Even doing MORE than MODE CON CP SEL. It would be the replacement for MODE any_driver CP SEL MODE kernel CP SEL ;) > 8) How do I get an euro sign from keyboard? Thought using 858 instead of > 850 would allow this, keyboard has a sign above the "5". I don't know, but Henrique may be able to tell me (or find out by watching US.KEY in the sources from the layout packs). > 9) I think Rugxulo mentioned something about KEYB/KEYBOARD.SYS in some > earlier mail? ¿?
