I was wondering if/when you would chime in (as the obvious resident
expert). Always glad to hear from you, and I hope you're doing well.   :-)

Re: [Freedos-user] Turkish F Keyboard Support

[Henrique Peron]

Hello all,

I don't know about memory issues; in what regards the keyboard layout, 
the alternatives are:

KEYB TR,,KEYBRD2.SYS (for the QWERTY turkish keyboard layout)
KEYB TR,,KEYBRD2.SYS /ID:440 (for the FGĞIOD turkish keyboard layout)

Both layouts are able to work with turkish codepages CP3846 ("turkish 
CP437"), CP853 and CP857, as well as CP850 and CP858 for IBM/MS-DOS 
compatibility reasons, even though none of these 2 codepages provide 
turkish letters.

CP3846 is available on EGA18.CPI; all the others are available on EGA.CPI.

Last but not least --- if there's intention to print data, it's 
important to check the printer's documentation on what concerns 
codepages. I have picked the definition "CP3846" related to the "turkish 
cp437 variation" after browsing an old dot-matrix printer's PDF which I 
found on the internet long time ago but I take the opportunity here to 
ask for a more suitable (e.g. 3-digit code) for such codepage, if there 
is one.

Regards,
Henrique

[Freedos-user] New FreeDOSers Monthly Reminder

[John Price]

MONTHLY REMINDER FOR THE FREEDOS MAILING LISTS

Hello, and welcome to the FreeDOS mailing list!

If you have been a list member for some time, then you can skip this
as you should be familiar with the rules by now.

--

The FreeDOS Project aims to create a free, complete implementation of
classic DOS. DOS is still a popular system, and plenty of people use
FreeDOS to play classic DOS games, run legacy software, and support
embedded systems. For more information about FreeDOS, visit:

  http://www.freedos.org/


We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS mailing lists:

1. Don't swear. We don't want this mailing list to become what Usenet
   turned into.

2. Keep posts on-topic. Remember, we set up this mailing list to
   discuss FreeDOS issues.

3. No flame wars. If you feel really strongly against what someone has
   said, send a reply off-list.


Some suggestions:

** Please send only plain text email messages, rather than messages
   formatted in HTML. Plain text makes it easier for everyone to read
   your posts. Above all, HTML email is particularly difficult for
   some screen readers.

** When replying to messages, please quote just the bit of email you
   are replying to. Don't copy the whole conversation if you don't
   need to.
