Hi Bart,
Thanks for pointing out!
Actually I ignore if Linux works with some notion similar to codepges at all (I once tried to port a single ASCII chart drawing program from DOS to Linux and found out lots of "blanks" #219 in the table.
If Unicode is the only collating table present, as you say this would have the quite a lot of work to do to create the suitable Unicode collating table, then remapping according to the particular codepage.
Good that at least the info is there.
Anyway, I just want to make it clear that I am not for having MS compatible COUNTRY.SYS files per se, and I don't mind at all if there is a non-compatible format for COUNTRY.SYS (just all the same that MS-MODE won't work with the final FD-DISPLAY.SYS), but I was just trying to find out the (legal) way to get the maximum data with minimum effort.

Yes, but as I mentioned, the problem is that, how do we get collating
tables, etc for other countries than US and Germany? We could rely on
user's efforts to create those tables, but this can be quite laborious
Probably best to have a look at the locale tables in Linux. If one can
make an automatic conversion from there it would go a long way (probably
not 100% MS compatible but is that desirable for collation algorithms? --
they've probably changed themselves too).
