Source code for COUNTRY.SYS is written in nasm assembler. Just get the file from: http://freedos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/freedos/kernel/branches/UNSTABLE/kernel/country.asm?revision=1261 Then, use nasm to assemble: nasm -o country.sys country.asm And you're done. Eduardo. -

Hello Tom, Actually they aren't. The decimal separator is arguably ' (see below), but the thousand separator is universally accepted (and known) as . in Spain (and NEVER the ,). As for the decimal separator, there's a typical controversy between "official" and "widespread". The official symbol is

I've seen one bug right now, shouldn't Spain be "34"? (Can't remember if the DOS country codes are the ones used in telephony, but in such case, it's definitely 34). Aitor 2007/6/27, Tom Ehlert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > BTW: > country=33 (spain) would be perfekt, it it wasn't buggy > (1000's/decimal

Hello, Once with the unstable kernel, you should create a "COUNTRY.SYS"-style file with the settings you want. You can either load it at boot with COUNTRY= in CONFIG.SYS, or either load it "hot" with NLSFUNC (in this case, create your file in a way that the country code is the same as the country

Self-correction. There IS NLSFUNC, but only for the UNSTABLE kernel, so I guess perhaps hasn't been distributed in the official distributions. I wonder what is the criterion by which something goes from unstable to stable. I think NLSFUNC and the involved changes have been there for a long time alr

Hello Mateusz! (Unfortunately I still didn't find a way to type non-western-european languages on Mozilla Thunderbird! :-( ) All I have to say about the Euro sign is for you not to worry since you'll probably use cp852, which already contains the Euro since I've prepared that for FreeDOS follow

Hello, As there's no NLSFUNC, you just create a new entry and re-compile. As for the EURO, make sure that you choose a codepage that contains the symbol (e.g. 858). Aitor 2007/6/26, Mateusz Viste <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > Is there any way to set up manually all configurations for the COUTRY
