Hmm. That wouldn't be the kbd.tar.gz/z (whatever) from nic.funet.fi,
would it? I surely hope not - this package won't work (or even
compile) here. When I do a loadkeys no.map the entire screen is filled
with error messages saying something about not being able to map the
keycodes correctly (Sorry - I can't get the exact message just now.
I'm running MS-dos.). The error message is produced by a ioctl call in
loadkeys.c .

I'm running 0.99.11 with libc 4.4.1.
