Bom dia Henrique, Thank you and other list members very much for your kind reply and encouragement. I did get some angry snorts from a particular honorable member, but I guess that is part of initiation rites into any new group :-) Going by your suggestion, I got the jp106.txt fiel and am consulting my Japanese friends to interpret the file. But I need a little more hand-holding to help me on the right track. a) What is the standard C compiler that I should get for FreeDOS? b) Assuming FreeDOS is supposed to be an implementation of MSDOS 6.22 where do I get the manual/function descriptions for FreeDOS now? For example, can I use int 21 kind of calls and if so, which is the authentic manual for all int 21 functions? c) When I installed FreeDOS , I selected Japanese mode. That came up as Japanese text during multi-boot. But after that it is all English. Is it OK or I am going wrong somewhere? Thanks again Basudeb

Second, there aren't such things like stupid questions. Feel comfortable to ask whatever you want. :-) The point is, you would need a special program to display japanese. For the time being, FreeDOS in itself is only able to handle languages written with latin, greek, cyrillic, armenian and georgian scripts. Nevertheless, there is a japanese readme file (JP106.TXT) on the KPDOS pack. You'll find it here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/keyb/kblayout/ Download the 22X package, which contains the library files. The 22S file is meant for users which intend to modify/develop their own keyboard layout files, which seems not to be your case. I hope that helps.
