Using ROM-DOS 6.22 2-39
ROM-DOS uses a country code to identify which country's conventions
are to be used. In most cases, the country code is the same as the
international long distance telephone dialing code.
A code page is a set of 256 symbols, including letters, digits,
punctuation, and graphic characters. The first 128 symbols in a code
page are the standard ASCII characters and are identical in all code
pages. The last 128 symbols vary depending on the code page.
These symbols include the graphic line-drawing characters, plus many
international letters, currency symbols, and other assorted symbols.
Each code page is identified by a number, such as 437.
A computer display has one hardware code page built into it. Typically
this is code page 437, the standard US code page. CGA and
Monochrome monitors can only display the hardware code page in text
mode. EGA and VGA monitors display the hardware code page unless
you load special software (like DISPLAY.SYS).
Each country supports a default code page and an alternate code
page. Here are the valid combinations:
