Hello,
I just encountered the very same issue with alt + keycode not working in
case of QEMU. I used your program to generate these chars (well, at
first I wrote very similar code by myself, and later I found you already
resolved and published your code here :). Thanks for that!
I have one m
Well, I originally said the use case was "how to get a list of extended
ASCII characters into a file on FreeDOS" .. so really, I mean *extended*
ASCII here. And yes, any code less than 0 or greater than 255 is not valid
extended ASCII, so that's why I print those invalid code requests as '?' to

Cheers,

I'll do that this weekend.

Just for referance Alt-248 works on Dosemu2, but of course depending on your
window manager it could be eaten before Dosemu2 sees it.

Jim: A couple of questions & comments on this. First of all, you say that this
is intended to put ASCII codes into a file, but it just writes them to the
screen. You indicate the user was asking how to inject them into a file. The
