# Command: country.sys

      COUNTRY.SYS is the help file where COUNTRY gets its information from.
      COUNTRY.SYS has to be loaded in CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS.
      When FreeDOS is already running, you can load COUNTRY.SYS later
      with DEVLOAD.

## Comments:

      COUNTRY enables/sets international features of DOS by selecting a
      country code and (only with the unstable / devel kernel) optionally
      also a codepage and country file.  The stable kernel only uses the nnn
      value. For full support, use the unstable / devel kernel. You also
      need a COUNTRY.SYS file for the latter, while the former ignores the
      filename argument and only sets date/time/number formats, using values
      compiled into the kernel for a few common countries. It does not set
      sort order and upper/lower case translation tables. NLSFUNC can only
      be used with the unstable kernel.
      COUNTRY.SYS has complete NLS info (COUNTRY, UCASE, LCASE, FUCASE,
      COLLATE, DBCS and YESNO) for the following countries:
