Re: [Freedos-user] Cyrillic charset.
Hi Tom, relevant bit of code from kernel readkey / ConRead / KbdRdChar: - if AL is returned as E0, return AL as 0 if AH is not 0 else >>> the BIOS will never return E0 as the char code AL is the ASCII value, AH is the scan code. And in my tests, the cursor keys returned "ASCII E0, scancode depending on key" so E0 can be returned. Special key combos such as right alt q (altgr-q in qwertz: @ sign) return ASCII 0, scancode depending on key if no German keyboard driver is loaded... So what is CON supposed to return when a cursor key is pressed? In the current kernel, the keypress is ignored, I would say. I also wonder whether Cyrillic keyboard drivers would actually return "ASCII E0, scancode 0" in some situations - which seems to be what the kernel expects them to do. Unfortunately I was unable to convince MKEYB RU to activate the "Cyrillic shift state", maybe somebody can tell me how that is supposed to work. Something related to right ctrl apparently? By the way, the kernel will probably show that ASCII E0 if you use Alt-2-2-4 to enter that character (using the numpad digits).

Re: [Freedos-user] Cyrillic charset.
Hi all, Eric requested me on this thread but all I have to say is that I have tested (once again) the main russian keyboard layout (keyb ru,,keybrd2.sys) for FreeDOS (under Win98SE's DOS Prompt running under VMWare Server 1.0.7) and it worked fine. I've typed cyrillic "р" (Latin "r") both under the DOS prompt and under applications such as EDIT.COM. I see that the discussion here runs around kernel, command interpreters, programming and stuff. Unfortunately I can be of no help on that. I can say, though, that Aitor's KEYB is able to handle E0h characters much like any other DOS KEYB program (otherwise there would be no russian support at all). One could think on trading cp808/cp866 for cp872/cp855. The problem would just change: the affected character (E0h) then is "Я", also needed in russian.

That was not clear from your previous mail. However, here is the relevant bit of code from kernel readkey / ConRead / KbdRdChar: - if keyboard is 84 key, call int 16.0 or - for 102/105 key call int 16.10 - if AL is returned as E0, return AL as 0 if AH is not 0 else - return AL and AH unchanged - if AX is Ctrl-PrtScr then turn it into Ctrl-P - if AX is 0 then repeat (to handle extended keys) The peek / nondestructive read functions work similar but use int 16.1 and int 16.11 instead of int 16.0 and int 16.10 ... Which AX value is returned by int 16 when you type the e0 char? You may have to report two consecutive int 16 return values here. The e0 handling in the kernel is meant to process BIOS encoding of extended keys which does something with "e0 as a prefix" but of course it could have a bug. The int 9 and int 15.4f RBIL info says that e0, e1 and f0 are "prefix scancodes", but note that int 16 returns ASCII in AL and scancode in AH, so I wonder why the kernel checks for e0 in the AL register? RBIL says: > prefix code E0h indicates that the following make/break code is for a > "gray" duplicate to a key which existed on the original PC keyboard; [...and also for the Windows keys... e1 is only for the pause key...] [...f0 can be used as release key prefix but this is normally off...] Eric - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user

Hello Alain, You'll have to recompile EDIT for that (but not DFlat+). I think all you'd need is at menus.c from EDIT. So you'll have to pick DFlat+ binaries, EDIT sources, make the change and recompile. Let me know if that troubles you.

Hi! > 1) I have discover strange behaviour in the 'FreeDOS Edit 0.7d'. When I > type cyrillic 'п' (hex AF), then 'п' will disapper and 1-5 following > symbols will stay invisible. I have a suggested patch for that but you can use it for EDIT 0.9 not for EDIT 0.7 now ;-). Please do the following: Edit the dflat.h file and modify the following two lines: #define CHANGECOLOR (unsigned char) 174 /* prefix to change colors */ #define RESETCOLOR (unsigned char) 175 /* reset colors to default */ Replace them by either suggestion one: #define CHANGECOLOR (unsigned char) 28 /* prefix to change colors */ #define RESETCOLOR (unsigned char) 8 /* reset colors to default */ Or by the alternative suggestion two: #define CHANGECOLOR (unsigned char) 23 /* prefix to change colors */ #define RESETCOLOR (unsigned char) 19 /* reset colors to default */ Then recompile. That should make cyrillic display work. If you cannot recompile (0.7d compiles with Turbo C 2, 0.9 compiles with OpenWatcom which is even more free?) then please say so on the list, I hope somebody can do the compiling for you :-). It would be really nice if you could let me know if that helps :-) You can also try my more thorough / complete patch which should make EDIT even more nice about displaying things: www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~eric/stuff/soft/mixed/tough-color-edit.diff.gz This is only for EDIT 0.7d but you could adapt it for 0.9 :-) I have not tested the tough-color-edit.diff.gz but you can ;-) > 2) I see no way for type cyrillic char 'р' (hex E0) in the command promt. > Got empty space instead of desired 'р'.
