SUMMARY
=======

To use the Hungarian, Czechoslovakian, Norwegian, or Yugoslavian keyboard
support function of MS-DOS version 5.0, you must load the correct character set
(code page) and use a 101-key keyboard.

The Hungarian, Czechoslovakian, Norwegian, and Yugoslavian keyboards are not
supported with a standard 84-key keyboard.

MORE INFORMATION
================

For example, when using the Hungarian character set (code page), the following
statement is valid only for 101 key keyboards:

     keyb hu,,[drive]:[directory path]\keyboard.sys

(Where [drive]:[directory path] is the location of KEYBOARD.SYS.)

When using an 84-key keyboard, the keyboard will default back to the English
character set (code page).

The following keyboard codes require the correct character set (code page) and a
101-key keyboard:

                              Keyboard
  Country                   Code
  -------                   --------

  Czechoslovakia (Czech)    CZ
  Czechoslovakia (Slovak)   SL
  Norway                    NO
  Yugoslavia                YU
