Seeing that XP loads bootfont.bin during system boot to display the Chinese multi-boot menu. Can we load the same Chinese character library in IO.sys in the DOS system?

If someone is willing to rewrite, it's okay. Just coordinate IO.SYS and XZL.EXE. The simplest way is to make a slight modification in the COMMAND.COM file, and call XZL first when opening CONFIG.SYS.

Loading Chinese characters in io might not be possible yet. Loading Chinese characters in config is already very difficult. If you implement it, please share it.

The following is a quote from kxc on 2004-3-26 14:32:36:
If someone is willing to rewrite, it can certainly be done. As long as IO.SYS and XZL.EXE are coordinated. The simplest method is to make a slight modification in the COMMAND.COM file, and call XZL first when opening CONFIG.SYS.
That's too easy to say. If it could really be achieved like this, it would have been widely spread on the Internet long ago, and there would be no need to discuss it now.
From the realization principle of the Chinese menu in bootable CD - making software such as EasyBoot, the XP and other system boot menus may be implemented in the hard disk MBR, not yet reaching the DBR. It can be seen from the fact that you can choose which partition to boot from in the menu.

This is a bit more troublesome than writing a Chinese character core IO.sys by yourself.. Just talk about it. Those who have the ability to do this don't have time to do this..
