Documentation for FASTKEYB 1.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coded by Koen Prozée
WHAT IS IT?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of the newer computers with a AMI BIOS (such as my own computer)
do not allow setting of the typematic delay rate. This rate influences the
ratio of when keys start repeating, and the speed that they repeat with.
The program also turns the NumLock light off, for people (like me) who think
that led is annoying, and don't want to turn it off every time they bootup.
FastKeyb can run from your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
WHY DO I NEED FASTKEYB?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because some older (and newer!) BIOS setup programs do not support
setting the typematic delay. If you CAN set the rate, you do not need this
program.
HOW DO I USE IT?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Put it in your AUTOEXEC.BAT: FASTKEYB 0 a
And you'll have a lightening fast keyboard, and that annoying led of the
NumLock key is turned off as well! Note that FASTKEYB is NOT a resident
program, and thus does not require ANY memory.
TROUBLESHOOTING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem: The program does not work! At all!
Solution: You need an IBM PC or compatible to run this.
Problem: Aargh! FASTKEYB has caused my screen to implode and even
my entire harddisk has been wiped from the beginning to the
very end (took quite a long time btw) and so my life is
ruined! You're responsible for this!
Solution: I do NOT take any responsibility (whatsoever) to ANY damage,
logical or physical, to ANY object or person caused by either
correct or incorrect use of this program. Ofcourse I would
regret such a misfortune, but you won't get a single penny
from me! Btw, this program has been tested on many machines,
so don't blame me if it executes that embedded format
command.
Problem: I love you!
Solution: If you're female, please send your message ASAP through
express mail to the adress below!!!
If you're male, screw.
Problem: How can I contact you?
Solution: Yes, I really like mail! The program is freeware, which
means you don't have to pay a penny and still may use the
program as long as you want! However, I'm curious to know
whether you like it, dislike it, etc. So if you use the
program frequently, please send a picture of yourself or of
the town you live in to my adress. If you even include some
money (enough to buy a floppy disk and stamps) you can
expect a "registered" version with your name embedded, and
perhaps some other software I wrote. Thank you for trying
FASTKEYB and I'm looking forward to your... reaction! -KGK-
SOME THINGS YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE AUTHOR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The author lives in Weert, a city of medium size in Limburg,
Holland. His hobbies include style dancing, programming, playing the piano,
driving, and sleeping. His hobbies do NOT include knitting, mountain
climbing or parachute jumping. And he does NOT wear wooden shoes, is not
dressed like a farmer and has NO tulips in his back yard... So screw those
stereotypes! After high school he wants to study pedagogy, and finally
become a teacher on a primary school. He is 18 years young, 1.83 cm in
length, and is crazy about getting his drivers license. And last but not
least: He likes getting FEEDBACK on his programs very much.
