I'm having a problem trying to get codepages working on my PC. I want to
set up the PC so that I have access to two codepages, and can switch
between them using CHCP. I'm using MS-DOS 3.30 on a Mitac 386 with VGA.
I've tried two methods. Firstly:
nlsfunc c:\country.sys
mode con: cp prepare((850,,437) c:\ega.cpi)
mode con: cp select=850
keyb us,850,c:\keyboard.sys
but the first mode command generates the error message:
Codepage operation not supported on this device
and the second mode command generates:
Invalid number of parameters
Secondly, putting the following line in my config.sys:
device=c:\display.sys con=(ega,850,2)
generates upon reboot the following error message:
Code page specified has not been prepared
I've tried this on Mitac 286, IBM AT and Compaq 286/LTE with similar
results.
HELP!
Please mail me at : ctwomey@ccvax.ucd.ie
Thanks,
Colum.
