Are you using CP437 (which was for US english) for i18n boot floppies? There was a "multilingual" codepage called CP850, which was the default for Spanish MS-DOS, but there was also CP860 for Portuguese, CP863 for French, etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
