UNICODE.SYS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:01, 26 December 2017

This file is referred on OS/2 as the "Unicode Driver". It is also required by JFS.IFS file system driver.

Note: Version 14.93 of this driver seems to have hard coded the path of "<boot drive>:\LANGUAGES\" since if you move the folder from its location UNICODE.SYS will give you errors on boot, no matter if you changed the config.sys statement to the new location.
