KPDOS v3.1 - Keyboard Layout Pack for DOS codepages
KPDOS contains library files to be used with KEYB.
The official FreeDOS tool to make one of the files below to work with
one of its possible codepages is MODE.
To use MODE, DISPLAY must already be running.
All the CPI files in this list are the ones available at the CPIDOS
package. The source files can be compiled by KC (packet KC200x), which
in turn can be included into customized library files by KLIB. More
details available on the KC 200 package, which also includes KLIB.
FreeDOS official keyboard layouts, v3.1
=======================================
This is the list of all the names of the keyboard layouts available for
FreeDOS. When the name is in the format zz999, it means that there is a
name AND an identifier which MUST be specified otherwise KEYB will load
the layout of another keyboard for that country.
In that case, the user will have to run: "KEYB ZZ /ID:999".
When the name is in the format "aa, bb", it means that there are
actually (at least) two names which can be used to load the layout of
that country/language. (You might find other names and/or identifiers
in the [GENERAL] section of the KEY files.)
Please refer to the Notes section at the end of this file whenever
there is a (number) to the right of the name of your keyboard.
Working with dual-script keyboards

It is necessary to press a key combination to access the non-Latin
layer when working with keyboards which are meant to (or were enhanced
to) work with more than one alphabet/script. Please refer to the tables
