Nothing really cool, just tought someone might find it helpful.

Winbeta 4 seems not to run correctly under Wine (font shows up non-monospace), so use the DOS version (http://www.adom.de/adom/download/dos/adom111.zip).

This script opens dosbox, enables german keyboard layout and then starts ADOM. Just put it in the same folder where ADOM is. Data folder will be ADOM_DAT in the same folder (not your home folder!).



#!/usr/bin/env sh

cd "`dirname "$0"`"
dosbox ADOM.EXE -c "KEYB DE" -c "MOUNT c ." -c "C:" -exit


If you want, for example, spanish keyboard layout, then replace 'DE' with 'SP'.
For standard US keyboard layout, remove: '-c "KEYB DE" '
