International keyboard layouts - solved



It turns out that non-US keyboard layouts for xVosXy are easily available. Download the Freedos KEYB utility (and KEYBOARD.SYS) and put them in a convenient directory. Then, at the vDosXy command line enter (for example)

KEYB DE /9

This installs the German-language keyboard. The “/9” switch is essential, as the command will have no effect without it.

Dead keys are supported. This should work with more or less any common national language.

I’ve placed a convenient download here:

but you should probably find the latest versions on various FreeDOS sites.
