                                 COUNTRY

Purpose:    Allows PTS-DOS to use different formats of time, date, national
            currency symbols, thousands and decimal separators, conventions
            on conversion of lower case letters to upper case depending on
            the country specified.

Syntax:     COUNTRY = <XXX>[,[YYY][,[drive:][path]filename]]
            Where, XXX      - country code or abbreviation
                   YYY      - new code page
                   filename - file containing the required information.

By default:

     If there is no COUNTRY command in the configuration file, the system
uses the code page for the United States.

     If no filename is specified as an argument, DOS assumes it to be
COUNTRY.SYS and looks for it either in the root directory or the directory
specified by DOSDIR.

Note:

     This configuration command identifies to PTS-DOS which country
character set is to be used. The following table lists all countries
supported by PTS-DOS. The table also lists the code pages that may be used
with a specific country code.
