Hi!
I want to ask whether is planned to fix the country infos through
functions INT21h/AX=65xxh in 1.1 release.
Now it doesn't properly work ant it is quite painful. The biggest
problem are the unsupported lower-upper case converting tables.
(f.e. INT21h/AX=6521h works badly)
What else is broken in COUNTRY?
Even loading the COUNTRY.SYS (country=042,852,
c:\freedos\bin\country.sys) doesn't help
This is because you do not actually load it ;-)
Only the unstable / testing / devel branch of the
kernel (2037) has country.sys loading ability yet,
the stable kernel (2038) uses a built-in table of
country properties which is limited somewhat...
It would be optimal to port the 2037 country code
while preserving the ability to use built-in data
for people who do not need case advanced country
data so those people can still get along without
needing a separate country.sys file at boot :-).
The relevant SVN releases, see freedos.org source
code in the orange navbar on top of the page, are
in unstable 2035-dev / 2037: 1261 country bugfix
1023 very mixed patches including country handling
see also: Lucho inthndlr / country.asm / config.c
and intr.asm lseek... and Eduardo country.asm for
the uppercase and collating tables
related patch in stable: 1142 country bugfix
...and maybe others... :-)
