This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the Linux
console font and keytable utilities.  loadkeys, dumpkeys and
showkey were derived from Risto Kankkunen's kbd-0.81.  The font
loading code goes back to the codepage package by Joel Hoffman
(joel@wam.umd.edu).  (He tells me that the original reference is:
"From: p. 307 of _Programmer's Guide to PC & PS/2 Video Systems_
by Richard Wilton. 1987.  Microsoft Press".)  The kernel and user
interface for the font loading closely follows Eugene Crosser's
intl_con package.  [Similar things were done earlier by Jerry
Kaidor (tr2!jerry@abekas.com, jkaidor@synoptics.com) : fontpak, H.
Peter Anvin (hpa@nwu.edu) and Pavel Zaboj (xzaboj@vse.cs).  Their
code was not used, but the Latin-1 *.psf fonts were developed by
H. Peter Anvin, and the Latin-2 ones by Pavel Zaboj.]  The current
maintainer is Andries Brouwer <aeb@cwi.nl>.

This package was put together by Ian Murdock <imurdock@debian.org>,
