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
