- This is shareware, so of course, I can not and will not be held liable
- for anything at all, including the end of the world. Enough legal techno
- jargon.....
- This INIT/CDEV flashes the scroll lock LED on Apples' Extended Keyboard
- whenever you have the Dvorak (or any other) keyboard script installed and
- currently selected. If you select the normal script the scroll lock will
- stop flashing.
- If you use this, please drop me a line, note, letter, postcard, whatever
- you thing this is worth. Money would be nice too. $5.00 is what I'm
- asking for the shareware fee.
-
- Changes from v1.0 :
- I've added a CDEV interface (a cheap one) so that you can change the
- Script ID that the INIT looks for. The CDEV will allow you to change the
- Script ID, but this means that you still need to know what the Script ID
- number is to get the INIT to work. In version 1.2 (whenever), I plan to
- give you a list of the currently installed scripts, and then allow you to
- choose one of those, totally dealing away with this number stuff.
-
- Changes from v1.1 :
- As you can see, I've make a better CDEV interface, incorporating the list
- of currently installed scripts to make your life easier. What is
- currently being planned for version 1.3 is a few other options, so that
- it works on any mac running System 7.0. Let me know if you would like to
- see something.
-
- Technical Details:
- The INIT installer first checks to see if you have an Apple Extended
- Keyboard installed on you mac, and that you have the Script Manager
- installed, which means you must have an ADB mac, and are running System
- 7.0. The installer then loads in the 'CUST' resource and installs it as a
- VBL task. The task (when run) checks to see if the Keyboard Script ID
- stored in the WhSc resource is currently selected, and if so, we check
- for which lights are currently lite on the keyboard, and XOR the Scroll
- LED register.
-
- The CDEV and INIT installer were written in Pascal, the VBL shell in C,
- and the guts to the rest in Assembly. All done with Think C and Pascal.
- Both very good packages, and good support.
