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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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
 
Enables MS-DOS to use country-specific conventions for displaying times,
dates, and currency; for determining the order by which characters are
sorted; and for determing which characters can be used in filenames. You can
use this command only in your CONFIG.SYS file.
 
The COUNTRY command configures MS-DOS to recognize the character set and
punctuation conventions observed when using one of the supported languages.
 
Syntax
 
    COUNTRY=xxx[,[yyy][,[drive:][path]filename]]
 
Parameters
 
xxx
    Specifies the country code.
 
yyy
    Specifies the character set for the country.
 
[drive:][path]filename
    Specifies the location and name of the file containing country
    information.
