WHAT IT DOES.
CAPUnlok (TM) is a memory-resident utility which makes the
Caps Lock key much easier to use (or, rather, easier to stop
using). I got tired of having a couple of sentences end up in
all caps except for initial letters after every CAPITALIZED
HEADING. tHIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. iT WAS IRRITATING. CAPUnlok
solves that problem by turning off Caps Lock when [Shift]-[any
letter] is pressed. [Shift] in combination with other keys
leaves Caps Lock on. The result is a Caps Lock that works like a
typewriter's Shift Lock, only smarter; the way IBM should have
programmed it from the start.
HOW TO DO IT.
CAPUnlok is simple to use. Just type CAPUNLOK at the DOS
prompt. You may want to copy CAPUNLOK.COM to your utilities
directory and run it from your AUTOEXEC.BAT with a line like:
C:\UTILS\CAPUNLOK
Once CAPUnlok is loaded, it will take effect in all your
DOS programs. This version can not be removed or disabled after
loading. To remove CAPUnlok (although I don't know why you would
want to) you need to reboot your PC. Due to the way Windows 3.0
handles keyboard input, CAPUnlok has no effect in Windows programs,
but it does work in DOS programs run under Windows. If I receive
enough requests, I will write a version to work with Windows
programs. If you experience any difficulty or unusual reaction in
connection with your use of CAPUnlok, please let me know so I can
try to fix it.
LEGAL STUFF (License Agreement).
CAPUnlok is shareware. The program and the CAPUnlok
trademark belong to me. The program and its source code are
copyrighted, and any reproduction or derivation of either must be
according to this agreement. By using CAPUnlok you agree to be
bound by this agreement.
You have my permission to use CAPUnlok for a reasonable time
to see if it is worth anything to you. If it is, please register
your copy (see SHAMELESS PITCH below). If not, please pass your
copy on to someone else, and erase it from your system. Using
CAPUnlok for longer than you need to evaluate it, without
registering it, violates this agreement and really isn't fair.
You can make copies of CAPUnlok for other people, including
uploading it to BBSs, as long as you include this file with it.
You can distribute CAPUnlok (and this file), alone or with other
shareware or public domain software, as long as you don't charge
anything for the program(s), and not more than a reasonable
amount for the disk and your efforts. You can't distribute
CAPUnlok with commercial software without my written permission.
You can't include CAPUnlok, or any part or derivative of it, in
other programs without my written permission. You can't
disassemble CAPUnlok or do anything else inconsistent with the
spirit of software copyrights.
I have made my best efforts to make CAPUnlok useful, but I
do not make any warranty that it will work with your computer
system. Because lots of people have sued software manufacturers
for whatever reason, I have to make the following disclaimer.
I HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO CAPUnlok. I
WILL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOSS
OF PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF CAPUnlok.
SHAMELESS PITCH FOR REGISTRATION FEES.
I have spent a lot of time writing this program. If you
find that it saves you time, or makes your computer use easier,
please register CAPUnlok. Your support will determine how much
effort I put into improving CAPUnlok (maybe providing unloading
or disabling, writing a Windows version, etc.) and into writing
other software.
Registration is $ 10.00, which includes a license to use
CAPUnlok on one computer and a copy of the most recent version
(the Registered User version loads faster and takes less memory).
As a bonus for those who register before December 31, 1991, I
will send them a FREE copy of the Windows version, if I get
enough requests to justify writing one. Send registration and
any suggestions to:
