- Program Info:
-
- KaosKeys is a simple joke program written out of sheer boredom. It took
- under an hour of my time to write it, so I am not asking for any donations
- for the use of KaosKeys. Judging by the success of my other joke TSRs, I
- figured it was about time to release another one. If you like KaosKeys,
- all I ask is that you use it on someone.
-
-
- Usage:
-
- To load, just type KAOSKEYS at the dos prompt. Once it is installed,
- any alpha key typed (A through Z) will be randomly capitalized. Other keys
- will not be affected.
-
- The first time it is run, it will not display any message. This is to
- prevent suspicion on the part of the Jokee (the person you are playing the
- joke on (that isn't a word, is it?)) Running it again will display the
- copyright message, and inform you that it is loaded.
-
- The best way to play this joke is to rename KaosKeys to something that
- looks harmless, like Speedisk, and add a line to their AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- that says "Speedisk FAST". Then reboot the computer and walk away.
-
- Since adding an uninstall feature to a program is such a pain, the only
- way to remove KaosKeys from memory is to use programs like Mark and Release
- by TurboPower Software, or to reboot.
-
- If someone asks, I'll write a version which will confuse even most
- "Power users" by hiding from standard memory mapping utilities.
