Hello!
Although I am some years late, my thoughts on this thread. By the way, a
very interesting thread on localisation for a hard case (the need for DBCS).
These thoughts are provided from the simple logic, not knowing about DOS/V.
In my understanding, supporting Japanese would *at least* require the
following functionalities, where the clue is given by NLSFUNC/COUNTRY:
* Country settings (for date, currency, etc.), that should be easy.
* Collating/lowercase/uppercase tables, which in turn implies that DBCS are
handled where strings are handled, and my worry is about filenames: how are
filenames stored? how does it relate to 8.3 limitation, does it become 4.1
or does it require LFN...?
* All character devices that currently support IOCTL, should support this
DBCS. As we have no PRINTER.SYS for PRN, we just need to focus on CON:
- DISPLAY.SYS does not support DBCS, but I suppose that NNANSI that is
being discussed here will do the work. However:
- It would require KEYB to work with DBCS: this could work well:
+ if no codepage change is to be issued, DBCS can be outed as
"strings" by keyb (with an appropriate KL file)
+ if codepage changes is to be issued (because NNANSI implements
it), it should call KEYB
* Finally, non-console UI utilities should be made to work with DBCS: this
includes EDIT, INSTALL, ...
All that I can come up with for adding NLS support to DOS (probably there
are more that I am neglecting).
