I have just upgraded my 4 MB A310 to RiscOS 3.10. But I was disappointed to find that the only territory supported is UK. Isn't this supposed to be one of the main features of RiscOS 3? I mean to support many territories. I have heard that all there's to it (or should be) is to set the correct territory, and all the local things would be set up. This includes the time zone, keyboard and alphabet. But what do I find? I have to rmkill the int'l module in RiscOS 3 and use the one from RiscOS 2 to get my keyboard layout correct (or I could use the IntKey application, which does exactly that). I have tried reading the manual and the release notes, but they include nothing useful about this topic. The worst thing about the release notes is that they tell me *not* to use the IntKey application. A friend of mine has an A5000 running RiscOS 3.0, and he has no problems with his keyboard layout. Is my problem caused by a bug in RiscOS 3.10 or by hardware differences? One of the files in the resources: filing system tells me that the Norwegian territory is no. 15, but all I get when I try to configure territory 15 is a picture of a floppy disc on the screen when I reset my computer. When I try to list the territories using the territories command is territory 1 (UK). So, naturally I wonder what is going on. Do I have to get a disc module that includes the definition of the Norwegian territory? Where can I in that case get it? And why didn't Acorn put this definition in ROM? I should mention that I got my upgrade from EFF in UK because a certain UK based firm named Lindis is unable to supply the Norwegian distributor with upgrades (or anything else, for that matter). (Acorn has given Lindis all the rights for distribution of their products outside of UK. At least, that's what I've been told.) Apart from this problem, I'm very well satisfied with RiscOS 3.10. One of the new features I really like is the pinboard and the new keyboard shortcuts. Kjetil Bernhard Thomassen bernhard@pvv.unit.no (this address is opposite of janet-std, no means Norway)
