- I am going to implement a new character set not supported by
- MS-DOS at my PC and would like to use the MS-DOS programs for
- national language support and thus define a new code page.
-
- But I am missing information about the format of two data files
- I have to change as they contain code page informations:
-
- COUNTRY.SYS - containing among other things the mapping
- between lowercase and uppercase letters and
- collating sequence.
- KEYBOARD.SYS - containing keyboard information used by KEYB.COM.
-
- I would be very glad if someone can give a reference where the
- format of one or both of these files are described. In advance
- thank you very much for any help.
