- CR.COM - pushes <return> into keyboard buffer via faked <ret> sequence
-
- Useful for putting default responses to programs run in .BAT file
- processing. This version will work on any version of DOS (1.1 and 2.0)
- as it pokes the fake <ret> code into the ROM BIOS keyboard buffer area.
-
- Idea from program CTRLPRTS.COM by Daniel M. O'Brien - 12 August 1983
-
- Changes by Michael L. McLellan - 3 February 1985
-
- Example: to load the dos 2.0 print spooler print.com in a .BAT file
- without operator intervention:
-
- " .BAT file up to cr.com"
- cr 'put <ret> in keyboard input buffer
- print /p 'Load print spooler with default device of [PRN:]
- "Rest of .BAT file"
-
- NOTE 1: !!!!!!
- One problem, however, is that any keystrokes stored in the keyboard
- buffer are discarded.
-
- NOTE 2: Any other key can be put in the buffer along with a CR by the
- following: replace the 13 with 256*key+13 where key is the
- ASCII value of the key wanted( 0 <= key <= 255 ). The extended
- ASCII key values can be put in the buffer, but without a CR as in
- this program.
-
- NOTE 3: This is assembled and linked with the Microsoft Macro Assembler
- and linker and changed to a .COM file by exe2bin.
