-
- CapsControl is a program that allows you to determine the
- behavior of the Caps Lock key and the Control key on the left side of
- the keyboard. It runs as a Window 3.1 program (it will probably
- run under Windows 3.0 as well but I can't verify this).
- The remapping only has effect while running windows programs.
-
- CapsControl comes in two parts:
- capc10.exe - user interface
- cap10.dll - the mapping function.
-
- When capc10.exe is run it must be able to find the file cap10.dll
- which means that cap10.dll should be in the working directory
- or in your windows system directory. Below I'll suggest how to
- install this program.
-
- When you start capc10.exe it looks to see if it was given any
- arguments on the command line and if so treats those as the default
- settings. The two characters it looks for and their meanings are:
-
- p - make the caps lock key act like a control key
- n - make the (left) control key act like a caps lock key
-
- If you don't specify any command line arguments the default is that
- the caps lock key acts like the caps lock key and the control key
- acts like the control key.
-
- The remapping only has effect as long as CapsControl is running.
- If you quit from it or otherwise kill it off, the remapping will
- no longer have any effect.
-
- Here is one way to set your system up to use CapsControl that
- will automatically swap the caps and control keys whenever you
- start up windows:
-
- 1. create a directory, say c:\capcntrl, and put capc10.exe and cap10.dll
- in that directory.
-
- 2. In the program manager, click on the 'startup' program group.
- If there is no startup program group then create one by selecting
- New under the File menu and selecting a program group.
-
- 3. Under the File menu select New and create a new Program Item.
- The description can be 'CapsControl' (or anything else you want).
- The command line is c:\capscntrl\capc10.exe np
- The working directory is c:\capscntrl
- Click on the 'run minimized' box.
- Now click on 'ok'
-
- 4. when you restart windows CapsControl will start up automatically
- and the np argument will tell it to exchange the meanings of
- the control and caps lock keys.

-
- CapsControl may be freely distributed as long as it isn't modified
- or sold either separately or as part of another product.
