C and Assembler.
INTERL.COM - Estimates the interleave which is being used on hard drive 0.
Does not work with ESDI, SCSI or other fancy controllers.

with CGA and EGA after minor modifications. Assembler.
KEYRATE.EXE - Will set the typematic speed and delay of PC/AT keyboards. C.
NUMOFF.COM - Turns the NumLock off. Very useful for those who don't like
to have a numeric pad, and whose BIOS doesn't automatically
set the NumLock to the off-state. Assembler.

KEYS.EXE - Sets/unsets Num/Caps/Scroll/Insert -states. Will turn specified
states ON, OFF or just flip them. C.

or near errors (ECC corrected data). C.

CMOS RAM of all PC/AT and later PC computers.
MEMALLOC.EXE - Finds out how memory is allocated. Will also detect ownership
of tasks. C.

Assembler.
BOOTS.EXE - Reads the boot sector of any floppy disk and returns the
information. C.
SCANCGA.COM - ONLY FOR VGA-DISPLAYS! Sets the screen resolution to that of a
CGA display. Nostalgia. Assembler.
SCANEGA.COM - ONLY FOR VGA-DISPLAYS! Sets the screen resolution to that of an
EGA display. A bit better. Assembler.
SCANVGA.COM - ONLY FOR VGA-DISPLAYS! Sets the screen resolution back to that

NOW WHAT DO I GET OUT OF THIS, BESIDES THE WARM FEELING OF HAVING HAD THE
CHANCE TO SHARE??????
HOW ABOUT THIS: If you want to have the SOURCE CODE to all the above programs,
just send me lousy $25 bucks to finance my next lunch! The very moment I
receive your check or money order I shall send you the excellently documented
source files. These files are yours to use as you please (but of course they
still are protected by copyright).
BUT WAIT THAT IS NOT ALL! I will be doing similar mailings of interesting
utilities every now and then. Your $25 contribution will guarantee a spot
on the mailing list for two full years!
THERE IS NO MORE REASON TO WAIT! Just write a check or money order in the
amount of $25. Specify the diskette size on which you would like to receive
the source files and of course don't forget to include your mailing address!
Send all this to: Aki Korhonen, 127 Twin Palms Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92264.
If you'd like to talk with me, call (619) 320 0135 (Girls: I am a 22 year old
single male, enjoy life and hang out at Zelda's or Pompeii. "Suspenders").
