I am going to implement a new character set not supported by
MS-DOS at my PC and would like to use the MS-DOS programs for
national language support and thus define a new code page.

But I am missing information about the format of two data files
I have to change as they contain code page informations:

COUNTRY.SYS  - containing among other things the mapping
               between lowercase and uppercase letters and            
               collating sequence.
KEYBOARD.SYS - containing keyboard information used by KEYB.COM.

I would be very glad if someone can give a reference where the
format of one or both of these files are described. In advance
thank you very much for any help.
