- This is kbd-0.95.tar.gz
-
- The programs loadkeys, dumpkeys and showkey were derived from
- Risto Kankkunen's kbd-0.81.
-
- The font loading code goes back to the codepage package by
- Joel Hoffman (joel@wam.umd.edu). (He tells me that the original
- reference is: "From: p. 307 of _Programmer's Guide to PC & PS/2
- Video Systems_ by Richard Wilton. 1987. Microsoft Press".)
-
- The kernel and user interface for the font loading were derived
- from Eugene Crosser's intl_con package.
-
- [Similar things were done earlier by
- Jerry Kaidor (tr2!jerry@abekas.com, jkaidor@synoptics.com) : fontpak,
- H. Peter Anvin (hpa@nwu.edu) and Pavel Zaboj (xzaboj@vse.cs).
- Their code was not used, but the Latin-1 *.psf fonts were developed
- by H. Peter Anvin, and the Latin-2 ones by Pavel Zaboj.]
-
- This package contains keytable files and keyboard utilities compatible
- with kernel version 1.1.54 and later. Setfont requires 1.1.92 or later.
-
- This distribution contains no binaries - the sources depend on the
- kernel version - compile them yourself.
-
- To install this package, unpack it somewhere and issue the commands
- "make" and "make install". This copies the utilities to /usr/bin,
- man pages to /usr/man/man{1,4,5,8} and data files to the subdirectories
- keytables, consolefonts, consoletrans and videomodes of /usr/lib/kbd.
