Hi Everone,

I would like to configure DOS language to English version instead of German without reinstall or reformat.
Is there any method to resolve this problem?Can anyone suggest me the simplest way?

Your feedback will be much much appreciate.

Many Thanks!is this pure DOS?There's a joke here somewhere, (at least to Brits of a certain age), but it would bad taste to look for it I feel.

Wir fahren gegen England...

Wanna know how I did it?
Dear BC_Programmer

Yes, it is using Dos 6.22 as the OS.Dias de verano, can i know how u did that?? That was in Windows XP, this will not help you in MS-DOS 6.22

Code: [Select]C:\>date

This is fun!

I don't believe you can change the actual language used by the OS... thankfully I still have my DOS 6.22 manuals, so let me just take a gander here *adjusts monocle*


...

Well, it would appear that that particular manual was useless ("Here is how you copy peach.exe and peach.hlp") But my old "Running MS-DOS" book if I recall was a bit more FLESHED out in that regard.


Hmm, from my readings it would appear that you require a special german version of DOS; however you can get the german keyboard layout using code pages.
