Do you use a Dvorak keymap? If the answer to this question is
no then this program is useless to you.
This program can be distributed with the following conditions:
1) This documentation is included and unaltered.
2) One may not charge more for it than the price of the
media being used in its distribution. This means that
one can "sell" a disk containing this program for no more
than the price of a blank disk.
3) Special case - inclusion in Aminet CD collections is
allowed.

Name:
Dvorak
Version:
1.0
Function:
Remaps keyboard from Qwerty to Dvorak map at the raw key
code level.
Reason:
Some programs (such as Imagine 3.0) pay attention to default
system keymaps some of the time and ignore them at others.
This sort of program is very irritating because one is forced
to use a Qwerty keymap for certain functions (like scaling,
moving, and selecting ordinates in Imagine).
By installing an input handler that translates raw key codes
from Qwerty to Dvorak, this problem is solved. One has a
fully Dvorak system.
Usage:
Select the Qwerty keymap as your default. Execute the
Dvorak program. Dvorak detaches itself from its calling
shell shortly after being started. To remove the handler
from the system and revert to your normal keymap, execute
the program with the "quit" directive. Dvorak also supports
the QUIET directive to shut off all output.
I have the following line in my startup sequence:
dvorak QUIET
Bugs:
I left the { and [ characters on the same key. I want the
keymap to behave this way because these symbols are painted
on the same key on Amiga keyboards. I've moved around the
keys (physically) on my keyboard to help me learn the Dvorak
keymap.
Tested on:
A3000-25, OS 3.1
A500-14, OS 2.04
A500-7, OS 2.04
Should work on:
any Amiga running under OS 2.0 and above
Versions:
0.9 Worked only with '030 and higher CPU
1.0 Works on all CPUs, has quiet option, faster

If you find any bugs with this program or want more functionality (like
using non-Dvorak maps), email me.
