** I found this little gem while cleaning out some old disk space
**
** It is known to work on Microport's SysV 3.0 (and 3.0e) versions
** of V/386 and on the 2.4 version of V/AT for the 286.
**
** It is a simple demo of the typomatic ioctl for the console driver.
**
** It sets the repeat speed/threshold for the keyboard
**
**
**	This code is released completely into the public domain
