-
- These requests come up regularly (why can't IBM design a good
- keyboard), so here is my monthly :-) posting of kbdr.com, a tiny tsr
- that makes the caps lock act as an additional control key. The
- combination rightshift-capslock gives the capslock function.
-
- Note that this program is for AT class machines or later (PS/2) only.
-
- Hopefully these requests will dwindle to zero as people buy clone
- keyboards with a switch on the back to exchange the keys, or buy the
- Northgate Omnikey/102 keyboard (which I heartily recommend!).
