Hello all, one thing troubled me in your message, Escape. You mentioned IBM documentation between quotes so I felt the need to prove myself: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid_registered.html
You can find reference to codepage 1125 there and, on clicking its link you will find, in the following page, a link to download the PDF file. Furthermore - Konstantin, please notice this - you said that RST 2018-91 doesn't describe which glyphs should be encoded beyond codepoint F9h at the RUSCII codepage. Konstantin, I'll keep my word and prepare a particular RUSCII codepage with those 2 codepoints portraying middle dot and square root as requested. As I told you in my last message, it won't use the number "1125" and it will be available on another CPX file. Last but not least, as I also told you, after checking documentation from the major industry on the web, none of those conflicting glyphs are mapped to any standard ukrainian keyboard layout. Nonetheless, I could send you a customized keyboard layout with the middle dot and the square root mapped to any key you wish. Escape, just in case you would also find interesting to check the keyboard layouts: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/msdn/goglobal/keyboards/kbdur.htm http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/topics/keyboards/registry_index.html Naturally, there's also the possibility of those two links reporting outdated info, implying that the ukrainian government might have developed a new keyboard layout of which I may not be aware of; in such case, I would deeply appreciate if you, Escape, or you, Konstantin, or any other ukrainian user out there reading this message to send me its description (or, if possible, a close picture of such keyboard) to me. I'll post a message here (and on freedos-devel) when RUSCII for FreeDOS is ready.
