1. What is CharWatch ?
-------------------
CharWatch monitors your keyboard, printer, screen to replace any
wanted character by another one. This way, you can replace accentuated
characters by their non-accentuated equivalent that will print well on
your printer, or disable graphics characters for drawing boxes to use
text signs to keep the advantage of drawings using graphic characters.
Several tables are predefined so you can use CharWatch without having
to define your own translation tables.
2. System requirements
-------------------
To use CharWatch, you will need a 8088 based PC, DOS 2.0 or higher.
3. Command line options
--------------------
All options are introduced by the '-' or the '/' signs. Case is not
significant, as CharWatch will not distinguish among upper and lower
case characters.
To get an help screen that will show you all available options, use
the 'H' or the '?' switch:
CWATCH -H
CWATCH -?
To unload it from memory, use the 'U' switch:
CATCH -U
CharWatch will then test if it is safe to unload. If another program
was loaded after CharWatch and some interrupts hooked by CharWatch
are hooked by the latter, foe instance, it is unsafe to unload, and
CharWatch will warn you but stay in memory. You will have to unload
the other program prior to removing CharWatch.
You may choose the language in which CharWatch displays its messages.
This feature is accessible using the 'L' switch followed by the
language you want CharWatch to use. Supported languages are English,
which is active by default, French and Spanish:
CWATCH -L SPANISH
To select a translation table to use, use the 'T' switch followed by
a string of numbers indicating the tables you want to load. Each table
has a number between 0 and 3. You may load several tables at a time
by putting several numbers after the 'T':
CWATCH -T0
CWATCH -T3 -T2
CWATCH -T0231
The following tables are available:
0: All accentuated characters become non-accentuated.
1: All graphic box characters become text characters (+,-,|).
2: Simple border characters become double.
3: Double border characters become simple.

There is no registration fee for this program since it is freeware.
However, if you find it useful, I would appreciate very much if you
would send me a little sum of money. If you do so, please send cash
in french francs or a check drawn in french francs, as banks here
take lots of money to cash a check in another currency.
