A friend with quick fingers has used a program to quicken the response time
of the keyboard.  This program meets with his objective of "small" since
it occupies only 272 bytes or so.  The result of being able to input more
data per second is that the type-ahead buffer runs out of space more
frequently (when the CPU is servicing another interrupt, etc.).  What he
needs now is a small patch to increase the typeahead buffer.  "Large"
memory resident programs that do it automatically are not acceptable for
this application.  I am not even sure that ANSI.SYS is loaded in.  Any
suggestions?
