I’m not sure what that has to do with it.

DOS wasn’t intended to have Megabytes of RAM, Gigabytes of disk space, 
CD ROM drives, a Mouse or even subdirectories. The list of things DOS was 
not originally intended to do is enormous.

I can agree that the current NLS system is far from perfect. I can think of 
several 
ways it could be better than it is at present. But, it is what we have and 
changing
would probably be more effort than it is worth.

Out of curiosity, what would your perfect solution to multi-language support 
entail?
Everyone live with English, compile your own or something else entirely?
