- Function: To test keyboard input and to set the DOS ERRORLEVEL
-
- Use: The program Test1a9z can be used in a DOS batch (*.BAT)
- file to control branching. View the file test1a9z.me.
-
- Design philosophy: Other programs exist which perform this function.
- Test1a9z merely sets DOS ERRORLEVEL codes which are
- easier for homo sapiens to remember. Examples:
- test 1 9 1 for '1', ... , 9 for '9'
- a z 101 for 'a', ... , 126 for 'z' {Same codes for both }
- A Z 101 for 'A', ... , 126 for 'Z' {upper and lower case.}
- 201 for F1, ... , 210 for F10
- 211 for SHIFT+F1, ... , 220 for SHIFT+F10
- 221 for CTRL+F1, ... , 230 for CTRL+F10
- 231 for ALT+F1, ... , 240 for ALT+F10
- For more information, view the file 'test1a9z.me' or
- run test1a9z with /?, that is 'test1a9z /?'.

- Notes: NO WARRANTY! For DISCLAIMER and LICENSE information,

- The author has had only one situation in which the
- timeout facilty has failed to function at its maximum
- setting (99 seconds), thus, leaving a computer in
- temporary limbo (waiting for a keystroke). He has been
- unable to reproduce it. Regardless, the prospective
- adopter of this software should be aware that under
- some circumstances, unthrilling behaviour may occur.
- Regardless, the author is releasing the software at
- this time because it is more useful than not.
