[Freedos-devel] confused by NLS-settings

2011-06-29 Thread Bernd Blaauw
Dear developer list, could anyone please help me out with a config.sys/autoexec.bat implementation of NLS-specific settings? I'm horribly confused by how startup files should look, as to my knowledge we've got the following: * COUNTRY in config.sys (harddisk installation) versus no such setting

I live in the USA, so don't have a need for any alternative language settings in my everyday life. But, I have messed around with a lot of keyboard layouts and code pages to test some of my keyboard related programs over the years, so I'll let you know what I've discovered. Nearly all of my

Hi Ruĝulo, No offense to anybody, but even I know MS i18n codepage support is a joke. They never even bothered supporting Latins 1-4. I did make a bootdisk a while back (year ago?) intending to demo the codepage stuff with FreeDOS, but I never finished it (and nobody else seemed interested).
