Right now, I'm using an Atari 520 ST to write this response. We have plenty of them at our university as terminals. This neat machine is delivered with a national keyboard only, which is a real hassle for us. We are used to the american layout and character set (Imagine a C program with umlaut-a and umlaut-u as left and right brace). So we have patched the bios of the atari to generate the 'right' keycodes and have put little sticker with the 'right' characters onto the keycaps. Not the real thing, though. They loosen after some time and have to be replaced (especially the often-used ones, like /?). So much about national keyboards... Hans-Martin Mosner <hmm@unido.uucp> University of Dortmund
