SYMPTOMS
========

The EGA3.CPI file is not included with the MS-DOS 6.22 Upgrade on 3.5-inch
720-kilobyte (K) fulfillment disks.

RESOLUTION
==========

The EGA3.CPI file is included with all other formats of MS-DOS 6.22 Upgrade and
StepUp disks. If you need this file, you must obtain it from another disk set
(5.25-inch 360K, 5.25-inch 1.2-megabyte [MB], or 3.5-inch 1.44 MB). For
information about obtaining a different disk set, call the Microsoft Sales
Information Center at (800) 426-9400.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS version 6.22. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

MS-DOS 6.22 includes three code-page information files (.CPI): EGA.CPI,
EGA2.CPI, and EGA3.CPI. Each of these files contains separate information for
different code pages that work in conjunction with the COUNTRY.SYS, DISPLAY.SYS,
and KEYBRD2.SYS drivers. The EGA3.CPI contains the following information:

  437 - United States
  850 - Multilingual (Latin I)
  852 - Slavic/Eastern European (Latin II)
  855 - Cyrillic I
  866 - Russian (Cyrillic II)
