Bug#444035: Regarding keyboard standards
The links to the IBM pages are broken, because they are now pdf files
instead of web pages, and were moved from http to ftp.
The whole list can be found at:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/topics/keyboards/registry_index.jsp
And these are the links for the layouts in question:
Latin American:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/keyboards/KBD171.pdf
Spanish:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/globalization/keyboards/KBD173.pdf
As you might see in these pdfs, the tilde is shown to be dead. It's
located in <AE04> in the "es" version and in <AD12> in the "la" version.
I also found this information from Microsoft, for Microsoft Windows 95. I
couldn't find any references for anything more modern, but I think it has
stayed the same:
Latin American:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc195150.aspx
Spanish:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc195122.aspx
The fact that the tildes are shown with white background instead of gray,
indicates that they are dead.
