    I am sorry but KEYB doesn't do such things as to "turn into a right-to-left" language. Supporting right-to-left languages would be a feature request (for kernel at least). Nevertheless, the user that opened the bug is not complaining about right-to-left languages, (it was Henrique who wrote that bidi is not supported, and he is right), (s)he says to retest MINED (but it is not mentioned why?), so should be assigned to MINED.

    What does keyb have to do with right-to-left?

    Hello! I think it is a problem with the configuration of your files. Try this in AUTOEXEC.BAT: LH DISPLAY CON=(EGA,437,1) MODE CON CP PREP=((852) C:\FREEDOS\cpi\EGA.CPX) MODE CON CP SEL=852 KEYB PL,852,KEYBOARD.SYS should do it (unless I typo-ed :) ). Unless something unexpected occurs, I'd say it is not a KEYB bug. Aitor On Tue, 12 Nov 2019 at 06:13, "Piotr Ćwikła" zuzia@users.sourceforge.net wrote: Hi Mr. Anthony :) Thanks for answer.

    Hello, On Thu, 15 Aug 2024 at 15:05, fritz.mueller willy-billy@users.sourceforge.net wrote: From my side there are some questions too: a) You wrote "script"? Does this NOT affect all texts, e.g. documents etc? Right-to-left would affect any text printed on text mode. b) "(i.e. this gets reversed to siht)" I think this is a bad to understand example. I didn't at the beginning. Something like: To be able to read: "This is a text." in bidi (from right to left) you have to type: ".txet a si sihT" in...

    Hello: So the problem is with this sentence in kpidos.htm? (13) FreeDOS does not handle bidi scripts natively. A proper bidi text editor is required; tested with Mined only. Usage: "MINED -E=CPxxx", typed in uppercase (xxx=856 won't work on Mined). There are 4 sentences there: 1-The fact that FreeDOS does not support right-to-left languages is ok. It would be a major endeavour to support it, affecting mainly the CON device driver, but also any TUI/GUI application (such as EDIT or HELP), i.e. anything...

    The main problem is cost-benefit. Its just not worth it. Just configure your AUTOEXEC.BAT properly. Aitor El lun, 6 may 2024, 14:48, Oliver asm2@users.sourceforge.net escribió: Thank you for your explanation. What exactly is meant by the compatibility break? Would AMIS break compatibility with DOS applications running in FreeDOS or does this only apply to MS-DOS? What would speak against extending the code of the all main TSR programs used by FreeDOS so that it is determined at compile time by using...

    Hello Oliver, The topic you are raising affects the various "bugs" that you have opened on (m)KEYB, NANSI, etc., affecting virtually any driver or TSR that chains through int 2Fh to determine if it is already present in memory. The common standard way to receive int2Fh calls is to install itself as int 2Fh handler, and pass on the next one when the call is not for you. Thus, these drivers are stacked, and once you determine that the call is not for you, you pass to the next one and lose control:...

    See the explanation I issued on the same "bug" for mkeyb.
