- KeyScan
- Version 1.02
- Copyright (C) 1992 by Michael J. Riley

-
- KeyScan is a simple program that replaces the need to search
- through reference manuals when you want the Scan Code or Extended
- Scan Code for the keys on your keyboard. KeyScan tells you the
- Keyboard Scan Code, ASCII Value and ASCII Character for every key
- pressed.
-
- I've written a few programs and whenever I needed to know the
- scan code for a particular key I had to drop what I was doing and
- dig through a manual. It didn't take me long to figure out what
- a pain this was so I wrote KeyScan.
-
- I've been using KeyScan for two years and it never dawned on me
- to share it with others until now. Here's the best part...it's
- absolutely FREE.
-
- Programs like KeyScan, are referred to as BannerWare. These are
- programs that people can use for free and usually advertise other
- programs written by the author. I've written two other programs
- and this is a way of getting you to know they exist. You will
- find a brief description of them at the end of this file.
-
- KeyScan is very easy to use. Just copy KEYSCAN.EXE to any
- directory thats in your path. Then when your at the DOS prompt
- type KEYSCAN and press enter. KeyScan keeps reporting the codes
- of every key you press. When you press <Esc>, KeyScan reports
- the code for the Escape key and asks you to press <Esc> to quit.
-
- KeyScan is also a tiny Decimal to Hex calculator. It calculates
- the Hex values for numbers from 0 to 255. To use this feature
- hold down the <Alt> key and then enter the decimal number using
- the numeric keypad. When you release the <Alt> key it displays
- that value in Hex. I discovered this by accident.
-
- I hope you find KeyScan as useful as I have. I'd like your
- feedback on KeyScan. If you have any comments, suggestions or
- would like any other programs I have written please write to me.
