DvorakINIT version 1.2 December 4, 1992

This is shareware, so of course, I can not and will not be held liable
for anything at all, including the end of the world. Enough legal techno
jargon.....
This INIT/CDEV flashes the scroll lock LED on Apples' Extended Keyboard
whenever you have the Dvorak (or any other) keyboard script installed and
currently selected. If you select the normal script the scroll lock will
stop flashing.
If you use this, please drop me a line, note, letter, postcard, whatever
you thing this is worth. Money would be nice too. $5.00 is what I'm
asking for the shareware fee.
Changes from v1.0 :
I've added a CDEV interface (a cheap one) so that you can change the
Script ID that the INIT looks for. The CDEV will allow you to change the
Script ID, but this means that you still need to know what the Script ID
number is to get the INIT to work. In version 1.2 (whenever), I plan to
give you a list of the currently installed scripts, and then allow you to
choose one of those, totally dealing away with this number stuff.
Changes from v1.1 :
As you can see, I've make a better CDEV interface, incorporating the list
of currently installed scripts to make your life easier. What is
currently being planned for version 1.3 is a few other options, so that
it works on any mac running System 7.0. Let me know if you would like to
see something.
Technical Details:
The INIT installer first checks to see if you have an Apple Extended
Keyboard installed on you mac, and that you have the Script Manager
installed, which means you must have an ADB mac, and are running System
7.0. The installer then loads in the 'CUST' resource and installs it as a
VBL task. The task (when run) checks to see if the Keyboard Script ID
stored in the WhSc resource is currently selected, and if so, we check
for which lights are currently lite on the keyboard, and XOR the Scroll
LED register.
The CDEV and INIT installer were written in Pascal, the VBL shell in C,
and the guts to the rest in Assembly. All done with Think C and Pascal.
Both very good packages, and good support.
