In the book DOS POWER TOOLS by the editors of PC Mag (highly recommended!)
there is a utility (in the accompanying disk) called IBMFIX.  It swaps the
ctrl and capslock keys.  It is a small .com file so it should be easy to patch
it to swap ` and esc instead.  (It is a TSR that traps the keyboard interrupt.)

If anybody enhanced it to swap BOTH pairs of keys, can I have a copy?  Thanks.
