KBD layout maker:
This program was designed as a support tool
for Resident Cyrillic Keyboard Driver - CYR_KBD
by I.V.Morozov & Y.I.Wolf. It gives a friendly
interface to create keyboard layout table -
a table that allows you to use CYR_KBD with
your favorite arrangement of cyrillic letters
on the IBM PC keyboard keys.
Main menu allows you to do the following:
KEYS:
A keyboard chart appears on screen. Black
letters represent IBM PC original keyboard keys
setting (don't try to change them). Red letters
correspond to alternative characters supported
by the CYR_KBD driver (they are changeable).
You can select any key from keyboard chart and
assign any of the 256 symbols to it.
CAPS:
Cyrillic alphabet is longer then Latin. Some
of cyrillic letters are thus situated on
non-letter IBM PC keys. When you type cyrillic
text with CapsLock ON, some of the letters (those
on letter IBM PC keys) will be converted to upper
case by the computer's BIOS, while the others
(those on the non-letter IBM PC keys) will appear
in lower case. CYR_KBD lets you to forget this
nuisance - it recognizes cyrillic letters that
need additional conversion and does it! So the
only thing you should do is to specify which
cyrillic letters assigned to non-letter IBM PC
keys. You just select CAPS option of MAKE_KBD and
mark this keys, getting the whole problem solved.
SAVE:
We suppose that after you arrange the
keyboard the way you want, you will have the idea
to use this layout with CYR_KBD driver. So save it
in a file through the SAVE option and enjoy the
perfect work with cyrillics. It is also wise to
SAVE before going to dinner in order not to start
the job from the very beginning when you return.
LOAD:
Sometimes you may have an idea to correct
your own table slightly or continue correction
started before dinner. LOAD is the option you
need in that case.
An additional hint:
If you are a user of some exotic font or
cyrillic coding (such as the bulgarian MIC coding)
you won't be pleased to discover that this program
has built-in cyrillic font loader (it used our
favorite standard - the Alternative GOST coding).
Don't lose hope - just run MAKE_KBD with /E option
to use External font table which is currently
present in your computer memory.
With best regards:
Y.I.Wolf & I.V.Morozov, May 1991
