Hello Wilhelm! The mechanic is: KC is the tool to transform a KEY into KL. And then, KLIB packs the KL files into a single library (like KEYBOARD.SYS). My suggestion is that you start with an existing KEY file, rather than trying to build from scratch:
Index of /pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/keyb/kblayout/kpdos-3.1 (ibiblio.org) <https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/keyb/kblayout/kpdos-3.1/> Use the sources (in KEY language). For the language itself: it is true that the compiler/library does NOT exist in ibiblio anymore. I have commented on an already open bug about it. (bug 181). I have tried to send some documentation but it is too big for lists.sourceforge. I have the KC/KLIB package if needed, but Gmail will not let me send it through email.
