- I really would like to apologize to those users who expected this more
- than a month ago. I promised several people that the absio Absolute
- I/O routines would be uploaded in November, but unfortunately hardware
- failures at this end made that impossible. Anyway, it is there now,
- and I'll be releasing a new one with even more before long.
-
- Of special interest might be keyboard.pas; the question has occasionally
- arisen here as to how to get Turbo to read the F11 & F12 keys, and it is
- usually stated that this can only be done at the expense of making a
- program incompatible with old PC's -- in keyboard.pas we see that this
- is not necessarily so.
-
- Again, sorry for the delays.
