Here is a function to return the country-code. Sweden is 46...you'll
find them in your telephone directory:
 
char country_info[35];
 
int GetCountryCode (void)
{
  if (_osmajor >= 3)
  {
    __dpmi_regs reg;
    reg.d.edx = 0;
    reg.x.ds  = __tb / 16;
    reg.d.eax = 0x3800;
    __dpmi_int (0x21,&reg);
    if (reg.x.flags & 1)
      return 0;
    dosmemget (__tb,sizeof(country_info),&country_info);
    return reg.x.bx;
  }
  return -1;
}

Check out INT 15/4F which translates scancodes.
