It's also quite easy in any of the Borland C products -- whether that be Turbo
C 2.0 or Borland C++ 2.0. Check out BIOSKEY in your manual. In MSC5.0 check out
_BIOS_KEYBRD. If you're doing it with some other compiler with MS-DOS use a DOS
interrupt function. I've not worked in any other environment, so I have no idea
about anything else.
