FLIPKEYS.DOC
For the Osborne-1

Notice: This program may be used and distributed freely but
under no circumstances may it be used for the purpose
of sale or profit.
INTRO:
Flipkeys was a product of my learning to program in assesmbler.
I wanted to come up with a simple yet functional first time
programing project.
PURPOSE
Flipkeys simply flips between CP/M and Wordstar arrow key
definitions without having to stick another disk that has been
'Setup' for one or the other (like when you come out of Wordstar
and want to do something in CP/M). You invoke Flipkeys simply by
typing it's name at the A prompt. I would suggest you set up one
of your Wordstar disk function keys with:
FLIPKEYS <cr>
Then when you come out of Wordstar simply hit your function key
and you have your CP/M keys back.
HOW IT WORKS
The program first checks to see if the Osszie is a single density
or double density (since each hold the key definitions in a
different place in ram). Next it checks to see what definitions
are in place, at that time it will swap either Wordstar for CP/M
definitions or vise versa.
DISCLAIMERS
The program has been tested on a single and double Density Oszzie
using 1.3 and 1.4 ROM, if it will work on older models I don't
know. I would appreciate any information on compatibility with
the older Osbornes. Also I know that this probably is not the
cleanest ASM code ever written, but it was awfully fun writing
it and knowing maybe someone else (a least one) could get some
use out of it. I know there are patches that exsist so Wordstar
automaticaly does the switch, but this program is intended for
the novice who doesn't like to fool with patching. I hope you enjoy!
