- ---------------------------------
- | CTRL-ALT-UTIL & CapsLock Status |
- | V1.0 (Freeware) |
- | (c) 1990,91 Rasquin Jean-Pierre |
- ---------------------------------
-
- V1.0:
-
- This is a synthesis of two programs I have written (CapsLock Status
- and CTRL-ALT-UTIL).
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- CapsLock Status (V2.2α)
- -----------------------
-
- This part of the programm displays a square in the top left corner of
- the screen. If it is animated (a 'c' scrolling from the left to the right)
- this means that the CapsLock is turned on.
-
- It runs in ANY (!) resolution, whether color or monochrom, OverScan
- or not, it will even adapt when changing resolution (!).
-
- To switch it on or off, you have to use Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Shift, you can
- stop your computer as long as you keep these keys pressed !
-
- P.S.: I said this Program would run in ANY Resolution, it theoretically
- should, but I haven't had the possibilty to try it on BIG-Screen-Monitor.
-
- What you should know :
- ----------------------
-
- It installs in a VBL-Slot, if none is free, in installs (by XBRA) before the
- last VBL-Slot-program.
-
- The Linea-variable 'Bytes per line' ($2) is used to be resolution-undependant.
- The screen-memory top is fetched at $44E.
- The KBShift-status is read from : for TOS 1.0 : a fixed adress. ($E1B)
- for TOS 1.2- : os_kbshift from the sysbase.
- (Adress in '_sysbase' + $24)
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- CTRL-ALT-Util (V1.0e)
- ---------------------
-
- You're probably wondering why it's called CTRL-ALT-Util, well just
- because it is a resident programm, and that all its (in my oppinion) usefull
- features are CTRL-ALT-key combinations.
-
- Description of the features :
- -----------------------------
-
- CTRL-ALT :
-
- + Tab : Invert screencolors (also in Color mode !!!, may not
- always look good, but it's usefull on the Desktop.)
- + Esc : Stop the computer until Shift-Shfit is pressed.
- + F1 : Swap screenfrequences (50-60Hz) (no effect in Mono.)
- + F2 : Force mouse display on (The screenbackground may be
- altered by the mouse, but nevertheless very usefull)
- + F3 : Force mouse Display off (If this function is used
- twice, F2 must be used twice too to display the mouse
- again !)
- + F4 : Swap modem DTR on/off
- + F5 : Swap keyclick on/off
- + Backspace : Reset (warm-start)
- + Right Shift Backspace : Reset (cold-start)

- --------
-
- Some further details about the program :
-
- It installs in the IKBDSYS vector using XBRA.
-
- It installs in the Etv_Term ($408) too, and sets the DTR back to the status it
- has last been switched by CTRL-ALT-UTIL when leaving a program, as some
- programs have to switch it off :-(.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- XBRA ID is 'CtCp'.
-
- If once istalled, it displays 'already installed...' if run again.
-
- It uses 838 Bytes of memory ! (100% assembler)
-
- Think that's all I have to say about it !
-
- Any comments, suggestions ... are wellcome !
