-
- This program will set the TYPEMATIC rate of your PC AT keyboard
- from about 2 to 30 cps. Normal rate is 10 cps.
- THIS PROGRAM ONLY WORKS IN THE PC AT.
-
- Because of the greater processing speed of the AT, some games
- or utilities leave the user at a disadvantage. For example
- my son was being attacked by a gigantic spider, and he only has
- a small sword to defend himself with, therefore he must
- strike the spider several times (I can't afford a large sword)
- in order to NEUTRALIZE the spider.
-
- In this valiant struggle the hero (my son) hits the sword key
- as fast as he can, but the villain (spider running with a 16Hz
- crystal) sees only a very slow hero and strikes him down with
- out mercy. But alas! with the trusty REPRATE 0, he can now
- strike the villain three times as fast and is able to defeat
- the evil foe.
-
- This program may also come in handy for full screen text
- editors.
-
- You can call this program from Basica:
-
- SHELL "REPRATE X" (X being the rate desired)
-
- You can even pass the X parameter:
-
- 10 X$ = "0" '0 = 30 CPS
- 20 SHELL "REPRATE "+X$ 'NOTE THE SPACE AT THE END OF REPRATE
- ^(Space must be there)
-
- Rate Table:
-
- X is a valid hex character = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
-
- Use one of the values in the table:
- X = CPS RATE X = CPS RATE
- ---------------------------------
- 0 = 30 8 = 7.5
- 1 = 24 9 = 6.0
- 2 = 20 A = 5.0
- 3 = 17 B = 4.3
- 4 = 15 C = 3.7
- 5 = 12 D = 3.0
- 6 = 10 (Normal) E = 2.5
- 7 = 8.6 F = 2.1
-
- To view the rate table just type REPRATE without a parameter.
