What about loading MSXDOS.SYS on #100 and executing? (anyway I never
tested
it...)

Oh... I'm not very famous after all! 8-)

Yes. Is a resident program for japanese MSX computers, which loads an
european character set and emulates the accent key through the KANA
key. I
made it two years ago and it works, but it is a little unstable
(sometimes
causes computer to hang when exiting TED!), due to a bad slot
management I
think; so I want to make an improved version.
>(that doesnt't use MemMan, nice!)
8-? You don't like Memman? By the way I never used it, but should be
interisting for making TSRs.

But it is a little nasty, because you can't place the installation
program in
a BAT file; the program itself must patch the keyboard buffer with the
instruction to be executed after! Or maybe you know a better method?
Tell me
please!
