What happened with ed.ex?

About the time of launching version 4.0, I submit to sourceforge a small modification to ed.ex, that made it compatible with accented characters generated by key combinations with spanish keyboard. Some few Eu versions back, ed.ex was usable. Outdated, don't look awsome, but was usable. On those times I had a WinXP machine.
I had long time without using Eu. Now, I have a Windows7 machine and after install the new stable Eu I note that Eu is not usable, at least not with my spanish keyboard. The rigth Alt key (marked as AltGr) generates different key codes, is impossible to type a lot of especial characters that requires such key to be generated: @|\{}[]€
Were those changes on key exploration codes caused by the newer windows versions, or for the new compilers now used to compile Eu. (I understand that you are not using OpenWatcom anymore), or by changes on the interpreter. Are those changes permanent, so are needed some new modifications on ED? or is possible that key codes come back to their original state?
