4-16 ROM-DOS Internal Commands
COUNTRY
CONFIG.SYS Command
ROM-DOS supports multiple country formats for time, date, and currency,
and other basic country-specific information. A country is identified by a
three-digit, international telephone country code.
Syntax
COUNTRY = countrynumber [codepage]
Remarks
The file COUNTRY.SYS must be present in the same directory as your
CONFIG.SYS file.
If you do not specify a code page, ROM-DOS uses the default code page
for the chosen country. If a code page is specified, it must be either the
default or alternate code page for the chosen country.
This command affects the ROM-DOS DATE and TIME commands.
Applications that use DOS functions to determine the date, time or
currency format, or request that DOS provide character sort order or
uppercase information, are affected as well.
Examples
COUNTRY= 049
COUNTRY = 049, 437
The next time you start ROM-DOS with either of these COUNTRY
commands, the DATE and TIME will be displayed as follows:
DATE
Current date is Wed 20.06.1998
Enter new date (dd.mm.yyyy):
TIME
Current time is 16:39:54,45
Enter new time:
