Hi Bart,

I am answering here because sourceforge is not working for me...

IMHO it should be extended atleast to include the "/?" key code 73h.

The reason is that this is a very important key to have missing in case
keyb is not properly configured. The key 7Eh is not very important, but
it  will use just a few more bytes.

I GOT IT WRONG... I even booted in pure FreeDOS to double-check :( then
I checkd with Henrique Peron...

I am very sorry, I already made a fix, but I am not sure when I will
be able to upload to sourceforge


thanks,
Alain
