This document describes how to use ISO Latin or KOI8 characters with SSHDOS.

			Recipe for codepage support
			---------------------------

1. Copy the proper keyboard and .cpi file to your DOS directory.

2. Add this line to your config.sys:

	device=c:\dos\display.sys con=(ega,xxx,2)

   where xxx is the DOS codepage you normally use (850 for Western Europe).

3. Add the following lines to your autoexec.bat to prepare the code
   page switch:

	mode con cp prepare=((xxx)cpifile)
	mode con cp select=xxx
	keyb zz

   where xxx is the DOS codepage you normally use, cpifile is the proper
   CPI file name for your codepage and zz is your country code.

4. We switch to the needed codepage by running these commands:

   For koi8:

	koi8.com
	mode con cp prepare=((866)koi8.cpi)
	mode con cp select=866

   For Latin:

	isokbxxx.com
	mode con cp prepare=((yyy)cpifile)
	mode con cp select=yyy
	isokbxxx.com /a

   where isokbxxx is the proper keyboard driver, cpifile is the
   CPI file for your codepage and yyy is the codepage you want to
   switch to.

5. Connect to your host with SSHDOS and be sure that 8 bit
   characters are enabled. For example in BASH, you must include
   this in your .inputrc:

	set input-meta On
	set output-meta On
	set convert-meta Off

6. Disconnect, reconnect and have fun :)


			Notes for keyboard drivers
			--------------------------

Translation is enabled, when SCROLL LOCK is on. Use the SCROLL LOCK
key to turn translation on and off.

koi8.com:
	Usage:
 	/u	unload koi8.com

isokbxxx.com:
	Usage:
	/s        display current status (default when loaded)
	/u        unload ISOKeyb, restore original int 16h and free memory
	/a        activate translation
	/d        deacticate translation
