well - we get it the same way that the MS COUNTRY information was collected - BY MANUAL EFFORT BY HOWEVER DOES IT - paid or not. using MS COUNTRY.SYS isn't an option other COUNTRY.SYS's simply don't exist. and IMO the way that all your 100+ keyboard tables were obtained is - even if it *might* not be strictly illegal - certainly far beyond any means of 'fair use' simply sort of 'disassembling' some work that MS has done, and pretending this is our work, is hardly anything I appreciate. so I would really dislike this continued in country.sys. IMO, if it's important to have south guinean keybors support/collating tables, some south guinean local should provide these tables. and if nobody provides these tables - fine. but ripping of MS(DOS/Windows/WinNT) these tables is really something I dislike. BTW: all MKEYB tables were created manually (AFAIK; at least if I did them) it would be easy to write a compiler/interpreter to make (X)keyb tables usable in MKEYB as well; I simply don't like the tables. tom ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Freedos-kernel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-kernel
