To use CP 866 (al'ternativnyj variant) and also 880 (GOST) under MS-DO 3.30 or
later, EGA or VGA, uudecode the CP866.UUE file, unzip the resulting ZIP file,
add this to your CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\DISPLAY.SYS CON:=(EGA,437,(2,3))

(You have to say 'EGA' even if you're really using a VGA.  2 is the number of
code pages you are going to load; increase this number if you want to load
other pages.  3 is the number of font variants;  3 is for VGA (16, 14 and 8
pixels high);  2 is for EGA (only 14 and 8).)

Add the following to your AUTOEXEC.BAT:

MODE CON CP PREPARE=((880) XTRA.CPI)
MODE CON CP SELECT=880
KEYBRUn,

replacing 880 by 866 if you like. n=1,2,3,4: various keyboard drivers for 880
or 866 and GOST or phonetic key layout.  Have fun. (I'm not enclosing the
source codes to the rasters because they're huge.)
