Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                             COUNTRY──Examples
 
To convert international currency, time, date, and case to French
conventions, add the following command to your CONFIG.SYS file:
 
    country=033
 
For this example, assume that the COUNTRY.SYS file is in the root directory
of the startup drive. If COUNTRY.SYS is in a different location, you would
specify the location in [drive:]path on the command line.
 
To specify a character set with the country code for France, type the
following:
 
    country=033,850
 
If you omit the character set but include the [drive:][path] filename
parameter, you must still type the comma that would have preceded the
character set, as the following example shows:
 
    country=033,,c:\dos\country.sys
