(Yes, it's only a REMark by default, but it still should point to the
right file location.)
Now that you mention it I remember that this is something I wanted to
clean up, but eventually forgot about...
The thing is that the REMed line is correct (on my system), since I do
not use the COUNTRY.SYS provided by the FreeDOS project, but a custom
one that I create myself. The goal was to make this the "standard" way
of configuring COUNTRY settings in SvarDOS.
This would rely on localcfg:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/localcfg/
It is a tiny program that generates a COUNTRY.SYS file based on user
preferences. I wrote it a couple of years ago because the default
COUNTRY settings were not matching exactly my preferences, and I always
had to test many of them to find something acceptable (typically, I like
dates in format "dd.mm.yyyy" time in 24h and having a thousand separator
set to "'").
So the idea would be to pull localcfg into SvarDOS core and make it look
for %DOSDIR%\CONF\COUNTRY.SYS by default.
Are there any reasons why such approach could be worse than relying on a
pre-compiled COUNTRY.SYS shipped with the system?
