Version history
--------------
1.0 [Sept 92] : a great day for PowerBook-users. The creation of IgnoreAlphaLock.
1.1 [Oct. 92] : IgnoreAlphaLock works now also in DA's.
The new Powerbooks 160,180 and the DUO-stations welcome this
new version. The Powerbooks 100,140,145,170 will love me more.
Why IgnoreAlphaLock
-------------------
This system extension makes the action taken by the 'capslock' key obsolete for all the alphabetic characters. This might sound strange, but a lot of European Powerbook users will be happy to have this extension.
Some keyboard (e.g. AZERTY) have numbers on the top row which are only accessible through the shift key. With some special keyboard layouts the numbers are directly available when the capslock is on. If you have no numeric keypad, this is the solution to enter numbers at ease, but entering lowercase characters is painful.
With IgnoreAlphaLock and those special keyboard layouts, you have numbers and lowercase. The uppercase characters are accessible with the shift key.
If you have a (QUERTY,…) keyboard with the numbers at the right place, you can still use the IgnoreAlphaLock system extension when you dislike UPPERCASE lock.
When you often access the wrong key (capslock in stead of shift), you have probably typed about 50 characters before you see that everything except the first character should lowercase -> use IgnoreAlphaLock and only change that first character to uppercase.
