KEYB
Loads a keyboard handler to support foreign keyboards
See also <COUNTRY> <NLSFUNC> <KEYBOARD.SYS> <MODE> <CHCP> <CONFIG.SYS>
KEYB is a program that replaces the keyboard program resident in ROM
BIOS to support non U.S. English keyboards. It permits you to enter
characters that are not part of the standard QWERTY keyboard set, such
as accented and umlauted characters. The actual keys pressed to
generate such characters depends on the type of keyboard in use.
COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 3.3 and up
USE: KEYB [xx[,[yyy],[[d:][path]filename]]][/id:nnn]
xx specifies the two character country code as shown below:
UK - United Kingdom GR - Germany Fr - France IT - Italy SP - Spain
yyy specifies the numeric code page defining the character set as shown
below:
AUSTRALIA 061 BELGIUM 032 CANADA/FRENCH 002 DENMARK 045
FINLAND 358 FRANCE 033 GERMANY 049 ITALY 039
ISRAEL 972 MIDDLE EAST 785 NETHERLANDS 031 NORWAY 047
PORTUGAL 351 SPAIN 034 SWEDEN 046 SWITZERLAND 041
U. KINGDOM 044 USA 001
d: path filename specifies the drive, path, and filename of the
keyboard definition file to support a country language. The default is
<KEYBOARD.SYS>
/id:nnn (DOS 4.x and later) specifies the keyboard type in use. nnn is a
3-digit code as shown in the table above
NOTE: The keyboard programs on versions prior to DOS 3.3 are not
compatible and should not be executed under DOS 3.3.
KEYB which is available starting with DOS 3.3 replaces KEYBxx which
was available with earlier versions.
After loading a keyboard driver, you may change from the KEYB program
to the US program by pressing CTRL-ALT-F1. You may switch back to the
KEYB program by pressing CTRL-ALT-F2. KEYB entered without parameters
will report the current keyboard settings and code pages in use.
