- SHIFTBS.COM -- converts the backslash key (\) into a left shift key.
- SHIFTIBM.COM -- restores all keys to IBM conventions.
- It may be useful to fast typists, people with short
- fingers (me), or someone new to the IBM PC keyboard, to allow the
- backslash key to serve as a shift key. The only thing to watch for
- is that if you depress both the left shift key and the backslash key
- simultaneously, then releasing either one of them will unshift both keys.
- SHIFTBS modifies the BIOS code for the keyboard
- interrupt INT 09 function so that the "make" and "break" scan
- key codes for the backslash key are converted to those for the
- left shift key. SHIFTIBM restores the INT 09 vector so all keys
- revert to the IBM standard, thus allowing you to type a \ or |
- without having to reboot DOS.
- Good luck, Walt Rauser 7-19-82
