I am trying to add a language not included in the Windows distribution
by creating the kbdxx.dll and langxxx.dll files.  (Making the language
appear on the menu is trivial, you just edit system.ini).

The kbdxx.dll translation driver provides two routines, one to translate
the characters and one that gives the names of special keys in the
national language.  Does anyone know what parameters those routines
expect?

The langxxx.dll driver has just one routine.  I need to find out what
this routine is supposed to do as well.

Finaly I have created empty .dll files to compare against the one
provided by Microsoft, using the development toolkit and msc 5.1.
Comparing the files I created to the Microsoft ones I found that the
Microsoft files contained a reference to ``bind''.  Does anyone know
what this is, what it does and how to get it?

Many thanks
