- But, you can't redirect int 09h ! It is something every user working in
- almost any other language than English learn very soon : keyboard interface
- that change the keyboard to support French or other "foreign" characters
- just won't work with Windows :-( and you have to use the foreign language
- drivers included with Windows. I don't know what actually Windows does,
- but it is like it was detecting original BIOS entry points and removing them
- while in Windows, but it gives them back while in a DOS windows (i.e.
- inside WIndows, WIndows keyboard driver is active; outside Windows and inside
- DOS window, DOS keyboard driver is active).
