==================================================================
KBFR v2.0 French keyboard driver for DOS systems, by Ninho (2011).
==================================================================

Extremely small (480 bytes), compatible with all DOS versions, and MS-Windows.

Works on practically all compatible PCs (AT-BIOS, 80286 processor or better).

Very useful for conserving room on bootable floppies too.

                =====================
                *Simple Instructions* 
                =====================

1. Copy program file, KBFR.EXE, to suitable directories on your hard disk and/
   or bootable floppy or other medium. Choosing directories which are part of 
   the PATH is advisable.

2. IF previously using another national keyboard driver, you may want to remove
   or remark it out of your DOS boot files, (reboot for this to take effect).

3. Launch KBFR.EXE at the DOS prompt thus:

> kbfr
...or kbfr + or kbfr 1 : (loads and/or) activates French kbd translation.

> kbfr -
...or kbfr 0 : (loads,..) deactivates.

> kbfr c
 forces load into Conventional mem. Default is to autoload high if possible.


3 bis. OR, install KBFR to auto-run from AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS .



4. Removing KBFR from memory (seldom necessary) :

> kbfr u
... or kbfr d

In cases removal is prevented (by some other program, including MS-Windows),
KBFR will then be deactivated instead of unloaded.


                ===============================
                Exit codes (for use in batches)
                ===============================

The 'errorlevel' indicates KBFR's new status, one of :

 0 = KBFR is present, French translation active
 1 = KBFR is present, French translation inactive
 2 = KBFR is not /no more in memory.


                     =================
                     Important notice:
                     =================

With this driver CAPS LOCK works in Toggle mode, like the US keyboard
but unlike Microsoft's and most other French keyboard drivers default.
