                INTERNATIONAL CHARACTER SETS AND EXTENDED TEXT MODES

    PROBLEM:       When using extended video text modes such as 132x25 or 132x43
                   on the AST Bravo 386SX-20 using AST DOS 5.0, in conjunction
                   with an international code page such as Hebrew, the Bravo will
                   revert to the US code page.

    AFFECTED
    SYSTEMS:       All systems using AST DOS 5.0

    SOLUTION:      AST Product Marketing has determined that this problem will
                   not be fixed.  Only the US character set will be supported in
                   extended text modes at this time.
