SCANCODE A Table of Keyboard Scan Codes
(C) Copyright 1987 Merlin R. Null
SCANCODE is simply a table of keyboard scan codes in decimal and hex.
Probably only of use to programmers and then mostly for assembly
language. The chart can be called from DOS with SCANCODE <Retrn>.
There are two command line switches.
SCANCODE R Causes the program to go memory Resident.
After installation, it is popped up with Ctrl-LeftShift-RightShift.
The resident mode will not be compatible with all editors. It will
work with Epsilon 3.1, but not earlier versions. It depends on how
the editor controls the keyboard. It has been checked with WordStar
version 3.3 and QEDIT 1.0.
SCANCODE M Forces Monochrome video attributes.
This switch is only for composite monochrome monitors connected to a
color card. It can be combined with the R switch. <Esc> exits to
program and restores the original screen.
SCANCODE H or ? Display help screen.
Will override all other switches.
SCANCODE P Output to printer only.
Requires a printer with the full IBM character set. SCANCODE will
not go memory resident when the P switch is used, even if the R
switch is also used.
SCANCODE is a little unusual in that it can be run as a regular DOS,
non-resident program or as a memory resident pop-up. The hot key for
the resident version is <Ctrl>-<Left Shift>-<Right Shift>. All three
keys must be pressed at the same time.
Version 1.1 Added printer and help screen switches
1.2 Fixed bug in help screen display
