 nlsfunc(CMD)                    19 June 1992                    nlsfunc(CMD)


 Name

    nlsfunc - load country-specific information for national language support

 Syntax


    nlsfunc [[drive:][path] filename]

    In your CONFIG.SYS file, use the following syntax:

    install=[[dos-drive:] dos-path]nlsfunc.exe [country-filename]


 Description

    You can use the nlsfunc command either from the command line or within
    CONFIG.SYS to support the use of country-specific information and code-
    page switching.

 Parameters


    [drive:][path] filename or country-filename
          Specifies the location and name of the file containing country-spe-
          cific information.  If you use this parameter in the install com-
          mand, you must include the drive and directory.

    [dos-drive:]dos-path
          Specifies the location of NLSFUNC.EXE.


 Note

    The default value for [drive:][path] filename is defined by the country
    command in your CONFIG.SYS file.  If no country command exists in
    CONFIG.SYS, nlsfunc looks for COUNTRY.SYS in the root directory of the
    startup drive.  nlsfunc does not access the COUNTRY.SYS file until MS-DOS
    requests information from it.  If MS-DOS cannot find the COUNTRY.SYS file
    when you install nlsfunc, no error message is given.  However, you will
    get an error message if you subsequently run a chcp command.

 Examples

    To use the default country-specific information found in the COUNTRY.SYS
    file, type the following command:

       nlsfunc


    Suppose you have a file called NEWCDPG.SYS that contains country-specific
    information.  If you want to use the information from that file rather
    than the COUNTRY.SYS file, type the following command:

       nlsfunc newcdpg.sys
