I think we should discuss how to implement unicode.
In the fact only one small thing is necesarry: we need a mechanism for
translating unicode chars into ASCII chars and vice versa.
Now programs do it self by looking into own datafiles with .TBL extension. Look
at DOSLFN or Volkov commander
Hi Ladislav,
I think we should discuss how to implement unicode.
There already is some interface for double byte chars
in DOS, which we could implement. However, it was made
for Chinese as far as I remember and needed support by
more drivers even if you had a DBCS-enabled DOS version.
In the

like cp852uni.tbl, cp866uni.tbl and so on.
It is a very good solution but problem is that here is no way now how to
determine which file should be

That would be something like what DOS/V does. It switches to VGA 640x480
mode and emulates
