Instead of filling out a binary country.sys by hand, you might want to use localcfg.exe - much more reliable. It will produce a country.sys file with all the parameters you wish. http://localcfg.sourceforge.net Of course, all this is pointless if your program won't listen to country

Thanks a lot Eric for this program. I have the space delimiter for thousands with the FreeDOS kernel on my VirtualBox. (But not in the DOSBOX with it's own kernel of course). And yesterday when I replaced the thousand delimiter in convert() of NUM_FMT.C with:    temp[30 - c++] = ' ';instead

Hi guys, There is an incompatibility issue with the "File Selection" dialogs of one of our legacy engineering MS-DOS programs. We don't have the source code of the program but I know it was written in Borland Turbo-Basic a long time ago. For years I thought it was a flaw in the FreeDOS

Hi Denis, country.sys is not a driver, it is a data file. So you can not load *that* with DEVLOAD. However, you can load other drivers, if that helps you. Read the manual of our DISPLAY and MODE: By first loading DISPLAY, then running MODE, you can switch fonts, in case codepage 437 is not
