You have to change the country-settings in config.sys (add 21000 to the country code): COUNTRY=21049,437,c:\drdos\country.sys This will switch the currency from “DM” to “EUR” and the format of the date from “dd.mm.yyyy” to the new format defined in DIN EN 28601 (ISO 8601) “yyyy-mm-dd”. This will also work for the other countries in the European Union which take part in the currency union and which are supported by DR-DOS: Simply add 21000 to the country code in config.sys (you find the “normal” country codes in the DOSBOOK). I added a german posting from Matthias Paul in de.comp.os.msdos to the Quicknote section.
