Type: External (3.3 and later)
Syntax:
NLSFUNC [d:][path]filename
Purpose: Used to load a file with country-specific information.
Discussion
NLSFUNC, new to DOS with DOS Version 3.3, supports the use of extended country-related information. The filename you enter should contain the country-specific information (it is defined by a COUNTRY command placed in your CONFIG.SYS file in the root dir
ectory of your startup disk). If DOS does not find a COUNTRY command in the CONFIG.SYS file, it will look for a COUNTRY.SYS file in the root directory. NLSFUNC must be run before you can use the CHCP command.
Example
To use the information found in the file COUNTRY.SYS, enter
nlsfunc
To use the information found in the file SPECIAL.SYS, enter
