NOTE: This zipped archive contains TWO programs and TWO installation
routines. This 'read.me' file provides information on both programs
and installation procedures.
JShifter for DOS, FreeWare version 1.3
Concept: Without JShifter OS/2 will always start new DOS sessions
-------- (both windowed and full screen) with the Num, Caps and
Scroll Locks OFF. JShifter allows the user to shift the state
of any (or all) of those locks to ON, in all DOS sessions.
JShifter/2 for OS/2, FreeWare Version 1.3
Concept: Without JShifter/2 OS/2 will always boot up with the Num Lock
-------- OFF. JShifter/2 causes OS/2 to boot with the Num Lock shifted to ON.
Note: The state of the Caps and Scroll Locks are not affected
by JShifter/2. However, should the need exist for such control
e-mail me and I'll look into it.
New in version 1.3: JShift2.exe compiled with IBM VisualAge C++ instead of
------------------- Borland C++ which caused a Numlock bug.
Contents: This archive contains the following files:
---------
JSHIFTER.EXE ---> English version of JShifter for DOS
JSHIFTDK.EXE ---> Danish version of JShifter for DOS
INSTALL.EXE ---> Installation program for JShifter for DOS
JSHIFT2.EXE ---> JShifter/2 for OS/2
JSHIFTER.ICO ---> Icon file for JShifter
JINSTAL.EXE ---> Installation program for JShifter/2
READ.ME ---> This file
LICENSE.TXT ---> License agreement
FILE_ID.DIZ ---> Description file
Install JShifter for DOS:
-------------------------
Run the program INSTALL.EXE. You will be asked to provide a
source and target directory; asked to select between
installation of the Danish or English version; and asked to
choose to allow the program to edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT, or
not.
If you allow editing, INSTALL will make a backup of your
original AUTOEXEC.BAT naming it AUTOEXEC.JSH; it will
add your target directory to the original path; and it will
add a command so JShifter is run automatically each time a
DOS session is started.
If you choose not to let INSTALL change your AUTOEXEC.BAT
you must edit it yourself. To have JShifter load every
DOS session: Add the executable's full path and file name
anywhere in the DOS batch file.
For example:
C:\target\jshifter.exe
Where C: is the drive letter and \target\ is the directory
which you specified to the install program as the 'target'
directory for installation.

!!!! JShifter statements have been removed prior to !!!!

Install JShifter/2 for OS/2:
----------------------------
Run the program JINSTAL.EXE which places JSHIFT2.EXE in the
OS/2 startup folder. Shut down and reboot.
Usage: Upon reboot JShifter/2 will automatically turn ON the
------ Num Lock. And, when you open a DOS session, JShifter will
display an information screen while it initializes. Then,
by default, the Num Lock will be ON and both the Caps and
Scroll Lock will be OFF in the active DOS session.
If, in any particular DOS session, you want the state of
any of the locks to be other than the default: Press the F10
key while the info screen is in view. The setup screen
can then be used to switch the state of any of the locks.
After setting the switches, press F2 to save the new
settings.
Settings remain in effect until reset via the setup screen.
If, while in set up you wish to keep the old settings: Press
the ESC key instead of the F2 key.
Notice: Neither JShifter nor JShifter/2 remains resident (taking
------- memory) once execution is complete.
Known bugs: None at the moment, but bug reports are very welcome
