I was wondering if/when you would chime in (as the obvious resident
expert). Always glad to hear from you, and I hope you're doing well.   :-)

Re: [Freedos-user] Turkish F Keyboard Support

2016-10-01 Thread Henrique Peron
Hello all,

I don't know about memory issues; in what regards the keyboard layout, 
the alternatives are:

KEYB TR,,KEYBRD2.SYS (for the QWERTY turkish keyboard layout)
KEYB TR,,KEYBRD2.SYS /ID:440 (for the FGĞIOD turkish keyboard layout)

Both layouts are able to work with turkish codepages CP3846 ("turkish 
CP437"), CP853 and CP857, as well as CP850 and CP858 for IBM/MS-DOS 
compatibility reasons, even though none of these 2 codepages provide 
turkish letters.

CP3846 is available on EGA18.CPI; all the others are available on EGA.CPI.

Last but not least --- if there's intention to print data, it's 
important to check the printer's documentation on what concerns 
codepages. I have picked the definition "CP3846" related to the "turkish 
cp437 variation" after browsing an old dot-matrix printer's PDF which I 
found on the internet long time ago but I take the opportunity here to 
ask for a more suitable (e.g. 3-digit code) for such codepage, if there 
is one.

Regards,
Henrique
