And can be shortened...

config.sys:
Country=044,437,c:\windows\COMMAND\country.sys
autoexec.bat:
keyb uk,437,c:\windows\COMMAND\keyboard.sys

The "uk 437" codepage is a 'standard' one, and not
need to 'prepare' them. The 'mode con...' stuff is for
a nonstandard (or non occidental) keyboard layouts.
IIRC...

Try it with "uk 850" too, test ALL the keys and see
the output of 'dir' for date/numerical conversions.
