- COLONON.COM / COLONOFF.COM - Vernon J Frazee - July 01, 1991
- Simple utilities to change the ";" to ":" and the ":" to ";" and back again
- -=============================================================================-
- Name: COLONON.COM
- Purpose: Flips the [colon over semi-colon] key to [semi-colon over colon].
- Syntax: COLONON
- Note: Pressing [;] will now type a ":" and [Shift]-[;] will type a ";".
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Name: COLONOFF.COM
- Purpose: Flips the [colon over semi-colon] key back to "normal".
- Syntax: COLONOFF
- Note: Pressing [;] will now type a ";" and [Shift]-[;] will type a ":".
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Remarks: COLONON and COLONOFF use the power of DOS's ANSI.SYS to re-define
- the meaning of the [colon over semi-colon] key while working in DOS
- (or in EDLIN). But, they can only work if the line: DEVICE=ANSI.SYS
- (Syntax: DEVICE=[drive:\path\]ANSI.SYS) is in your CONFIG.SYS file
- when you bootup your system. If not, you will see something like:
- "<-[58;59p<-[59;58p<-" appear on the screen when you type COLONON.
-
- See your MS/DOS manual for how to load (and the power of) ANSI.SYS
