=== Rainbow MS-DOS Regis patch for extended function key support ===
Programs which depend on detecting the <Shift> and <Ctrl> keys in conjunction
with function keys will not work under Rainbow Regis. Example programs which
have problems are LCTERM and KEDT. This patch kit provides a patch to REGIS.EXE
which allows the <Shift> and <Ctrl> keys to be detected. Additionally, the
Regis "print screen" function invoked by <Print Screen> is changed to
<Shift><Print Screen>. This allows PRTSCR.COM and Regis to work together
properly. Also, a new version of PRTSCR.COM is provided in this patch kit
which works more reliably under Regis.
A batch file (REGPAT.BAT) and a patch file (REGPAT.DEB) are provided which
will automatically install the fix. Before beginning, make sure you have
REGIS.EXE, REGPAT.DEB, and REGPAT.BAT in your default directory. I recommend
you use a directory other than your normal Regis directory in case something
goes wrong. To make the patch, enter "REGPAT" followed by a <Return>. This
command will run the batch file and install the patch for you. When you have
verified that your new Regis works, copy the new REGIS.EXE back to your Regis
directory. Also, copy your new PRTSCR.COM to its appropriate directory. To
load the new Regis and Prtscr, you must reboot your Rainbow.
<<< Note: you must have DEBUG.COM available in your system directory >>>
