I am currently working on a utility for DOS to emulate the "Compose" key
of a DEC terminal. The utility is completely configurable through a
text INI file allowing any sequence of keystrokes (including held keys)
to return any ascii/scan code to DOS.

In conjunction with an ANSI terminal driver it will allow different
strings to be assigned to normally indistiguishable keys.

The final version will be General Public Licenced and have a resident
size of about 4k (loadable high).

Users of UK keyboards (and others that are very close to US keyboards)
will be able to use it in place of KEYB (others would probably find it
more efficient to use it in addition).

An alpha-test version that supports only US and UK keyboards is now
available for comment. It also supports only the US code page.

The alpha-test does not TSR it simply installs itself then
shells out so it has a resident size of about 130k.

I shall need some help adding support for non US/UK keyboards - in
particular if anyone knows the format of KEYBOARD.SYS this will help
automate the process.

Question: does anyone out there frequently switch code pages except at
system startup? Does anyone ever use more than one keyboard?

Any budding alpha-testers please mail me. State if you don't have ARJ.
State if you want source. (You'll need YACC, LEX, Assembler and C++
if you want to rebuild it).

A Beta-test version which will TSR should be available towards the end
of January.
