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 ;-)

Both with FreeCOM 0.82pl3 and FreeCOM 0.84 you mean...? You can
get 0.82 on sourceforge and 0.84 on http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5109&package_id=9826
(select com082pl3-xmsswap.zip to get the right command.com file)
You can also try 4dos: http://4dos.zzl.org/ as far as I remember.
> display.exe con=(ega,,1)
> mode.com con codepage prepare=((866) %dosdir%\cpi\ega3.cpx)
> mode.com con codepage select=866
> keyb.exe ru,,%dosdir%\bin\keybrd2.sys
Sounds correct.
> FreeDOS kernel build 2036 cvs [version Sep 09 2005 compiled May 21 2006]
You can also try a kernel 2038 preview as the kernels
which are used in the rugxulo distro, see above :-).
Thanks for testing :-).
Eric
