I need to modify the keyboard behaviour of UnixWare to be able to type
in the characters in the ISO 8859-7 (Latin/Greek) code page.  As I
understand the two methods of doing it are:
1. Write a new keyboard driver.
2. Add a new keyboard translation library for MOOLIT localization.
I think solution (1) might be preferable, as console programs would
work correctly, and - from what I understand from the new MOOLIT
specifications - the X keyboard behaviour will also be automagically
correct.  The problem however is that I could not find any
documentation, or sample source on the keyboard driver.  Does anyone
know a good starting point? (Novell has not been very helpful).  Will
MOOLIT use the keyboard driver and inherit the changed keyboard
behaviour?
If I fail to find any documentation to implement (1) I may have to
go for solution (2).  In that case, does anyone have any sample source
for the MOOLIT localization routines?
Many thanks,
Diomidis
