Thank you, Eduardo! That's exactly the answer I was waiting for! I done what you said, and got what I wanted. It took me no more than 30s :-) By the way, it would be a nice thing to have a tool in FreeDOS which gives the possibility of an easy changing of those COUNTRY settings (recompiling the COUNTRY.SYS file, even if its trivial, shouldn't be considered as an "easy way")... All operating systems I know have such thing... Bye!

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
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.

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
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 ' (as stated in
official national public agencies, I can't remember if the "Spanish
language academy" or by scientific (physics) academies).
However, few people actually uses it, or what's more, few people would
ever know (and what's worse accept it) as decimal separator. Although
I myself remember being taught to use ' in School, the common belief
between Spaniards is that the decimal separator is the , (and NEVER
the .). Even in Microsoft Windows and other programs (MS-Excel), they
have by default , (so perhaps a reason to change our COUNTRY setting,
although it was myself who suggested to use the official ' ).
Just for an extra bit, there's another similar discussion with the
capital vowels and diacritics. A very old rule stated that the capital
letters would NEVER accept a diacritic sign (thus, ÁÉÍÓÚÜ should NEVER
be used, you write AEIOUU as the capitals for áéíóúü). However, the
Spanish language academy changed their mind (I think about three
decades ago) as they judged that not using them may lead to ambiguous
or illegible words. However, not many people knows it, and there are
quite some that haven't bothered to check it and will swear that you
MUST never used ÁÉÍÓÚÜ.

enter into CONFIG.SYS:
country=49 (german)
gets pretty close to what you want (even for the stable kernel),
see the other possibilities below, hard compiled into the kernel.
the currency is probably irrelevant, no program ever cared

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
Hi Aitor, Tom, Mateusz, to continue this thread with somewhat shorter mails... ;-) What Mateusz wanted is: > dd.mm. hh:mm:ss 1'234.56 Country 41, Switzerland, is pretty close: > dd.mm. hh,mm,ss 1'234.56 Country 33, France, would use: > dd.mm. hh:mm:ss 1 234,56 In codepage 858, France will be with Euro sign. Otherwise, the string EUR will be used. Indeed the stable kernel contains built-in country definitions, which you can change by recompiling it. With the unstable kernel (and it does have bugs, really...), you can use country.sys ... As far as I remember, you simply need the country.asm source code if you want to edit it - no special tools needed, just edit the source and "recompile" it. Of course country.sys is not really a program, it is a binary data file. But you still "compile" it.

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
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

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
I ignore it, perhaps Eduardo (developer of NLSFUNC) has some tools for creating/editing such files, or Eric or Henrique have some ideas?

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
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 code in which your system is booted). Finally, make sure to choose the appropriate codepage (see Henrique's mail). You can either do it at boot with COUNTRY= in CONFIG.SYS, or either call nlsfunc hot, by means of the CHCP command. Hope that helps...

Okay, I have installed the unstable kernel (which, by the way, isn't unstable at all - at least for me). I have now the NLSFUNC command available, but how can I change date format using that command? I studied the docs, and there are very few possible parameters for NLSFUNC...

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
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 already.

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
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 following IBM-DOS standards instead of MS-DOS standards. The only difference is precisely on codepoint 170, which is blank on a regular MS-DOS cp852 while in contains the Euro on IBM-DOS cp852. If you have a polish (or polish for programmers) keyboard and it does not have the Euro labeled on, you'll find the Euro on + (in case you haven't tried that already... ;-)). If you need the Euro sign AND support for kashubian instead of polish, please let me know.

Re: [Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
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).

[Freedos-user] COUNTRY.SYS settings
Hi, Is there any way to set up manually all configurations for the COUTRY.SYS settings? I mean, how could I decide exactly which character I want to use for decimals, which for hundreds separator, how to display the date etc...? I know that I can choose between various countries standards, but none of them fills all my needs. What I would like to have is: Date format: dd.mm. Time format: hh:mm Decimal separator: " . " Hundreds separator: " ' " Currency: € (I don't know if FreeDOS is storing the currency anywhere) Any ideas? ;-) Best regards, Mateusz Viste - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
