SYMPTOMS
========
When using the Greek input locale, accented Greek characters are not being
created correctly.
CAUSE
=====
When you select a specific input locale in the Keyboard dialog box in Control
Panel, Windows NT uses this setting to select a code page that it uses to map
keyboard input to characters. The incorrect Greek character problem is caused by
an incorrect codepage being used; codepage 869 is used when Windows NT should be
using codepage 737.
RESOLUTION
==========
A fix to Keyboard.sys has been provided by Microsoft that corrects the codepage
usage.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This
problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in
