DOS ain't dead

Font editor Kasmar - new version 2.0 (Announce)

I use CP852 of FreeDOS' EGA.CPX on DR-DOS 7.03 for Hungarian, which is mostly used by me to name files and directories or use Facebook, write my mails, but for the other languages I prefer workarounds. My Turkish translations are made in Links browsers user interface because its features make it very simple and almost every Turkish character can by typed with the Hungarian keyboard. The two lacking letters can be pasted from Links internal clipboard or added later by collective character changes. The result is in Unicode so I can hand them in .html files and they are still readable and usable on other modern machines. However, BLOCEK's codepage converter makes it easier to get a Unicode result from a Turkish text in an older format, but I didn't know about this editor until yesterday :D For Arabic, I have not found any practical workaround, the only working solution is using Nafitha and then collectively changing the characters to the proper gibberish ascii text which gives the proper result when viewed in a Unicode-compatible software.

DOS isn't about why. It's about why not.
