Command: graftabl
GRAFTABL loads the extended character set for CGA graphics modes
to bring national language support to CGA graphics modes.
It is used to load the table of displayable characters to those
appropriate for the specified country (when in graphics mode using
a color/graphics adapter). After using this command, the ASCII
characters 128 through 255 can be displayed in graphics mode with
a color/graphics adapter.
GRAFTABL is out of date, see comments.
Syntax:
GRAFTABL [(codepage)] /STATUS
Options:
codepage The codepage to use.
Available Codepages:
CP866X8.FNT Font 8x8 (Cyrillic)
CP866X14.FNT Font 8x14 (Cyrillic)
CP866X16.FNT Font 8x16 (Cyrillic)
Currently to make FreeDOS display your national alphabet, you need
to replace CP866X*.FNT with your local codepage and run MAKEALL.BAT.
/STATUS seems not to work.
Comments:
GRAFTABL has been dropped, because most monitors can display extended
characters (128–255) without Graftabl. This command was originally
introduced by MS-DOS to support the extended character set on systems
that were not originally equipped to display them properly. While some
users may miss this command, we feel there are not enough systems that
still need Graftabl to justify its inclusion in the Spec.
