U2-03: Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick ------------------------------- 1149 Keyboard Macros, Shorthand Small Programs Disk ------------------------------- 1Finger 1.0 Sawada, Dr. Masaaki $5-$10 allows one-finger operation of the Ctrl-Alt-Shift keys as well as the swapping of those keys and adding a beep for each. TSR: 2k. Ctsynd 1.0 Sawada, Dr. Masaaki $10-$20) is a keyboard macro program that allows words, letters, commands, etc, to be assigned to any two keys or two-key combinations, such as <Alt-N>+<Ctrl-F> or <F1>+<Q>. DDKey 2.01 Dibble, David M. ASP $18 is an excellent keyboard macro utility that can use as little as 7k. You can either manually type in a macro or let it record keystrokes as you type them in your application. It lets you pop up a screen which lists the macros and offers a menu of functions from which you can choose, including editing existing and newly-created macros, an alarm function, an ASCII table display, and the ability to dump the current text screen to a file. DDKEY Macro Compiler (DMC) Cowell, Richard $0 converts DDKey macro files into text files and converts formatted text files into DDKey macro files. This makes it possible to edit macros with any text editor. Asm source included. DKEY is small keyboard macro program. It's not as fancy as Superkey, but it only takes about 1/20th the memory. The authors are no longer at the address provided in the documentation. Grafx Ford, Nelson ASP $? contains two graphics programs for drawing boxes. GRAFX.KEY is to be used with Newkey and GRAFX.MAC is to be used with Superkey. Key-Filt 1.0 Drayson, Geoff $0 is a simple resident program that disables certain Keyboard input: Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Break, Ctrl-Alt-Del, PrtSc, Ctrl-Alt-Grey-Plus and Ctrl-Alt-Grey-Minus. Assembler source code is included. Letter Code Size Increaser (LCSI) LCS $10-$15 increases the number of key combinations available to other resident programs by 31 to 62 keys on the standard 83 key keyboard. The extra keys are generated by pressing down on both the Ctrl key and the left or the right shift keys along with another key. Playback 2.3 (PLAYBAC) 09-93 CD RSE Inc. ASP $35 captures your keystrokes, including the delay between keystrokes, and lets you play them back in a variety of ways. This could be used for self-running demos of programs, for unattended operation of the computer or simply as a super-macro program. You can also initiate a playback by pressing a specified "hot key". Network support is provided, and instructions are included for operation within the Windows environment. Keystroke files can also be edited, and you can start and stop a recording from within a batch file. ScroLck 1.0 Sawada, Dr. Masaaki $10-$20 lets you redefine the keyboard and toggle the new values on and off by pressing the Scroll-Lock key. This program ingeniously takes advantage of the fact that the status of Scroll-Lock is ignored by most other programs. You can press Scroll-Lock and have the regular keys start putting out Greek or other special characters. You can even redefine them to take the place of function keys that are hard to remember or to pop up TSR's. Short Hand Expander 1.0 (SHRTHND) TABS Software $25 is a 17k TSR that saves keystrokes by expanding predefined abbreviations into longer words or phrases as you type. New abbreviations may be added as you go. Smacs you redefine your keyboard, save the current screen to an ASCII file, print concurrently in DOS 3.0 or greater, and load and save files of keyboard macros from within other applications. -------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #1149 -------------------------------- -------------------------- 12091 Redefine Keys in DOS Small Programs Disk -------------------------- The advantage (or disadvantage, depending on your point of view) of these utilities is that they normally don't affect the keyboard in other programs. Ansi&2K Ketcham, Bob $? improves on ANSI.SYS by providing a larger keyboard reassignment buffer. Ansikey 2.1 Williams, Dave ASP $0 is a file to be used with ANSI.SYS to redefine the keyboard. Also included are a documentation file that explains all about ANSI.SYS and an improvement on ANSI.SYS by the name of ZANSI.SYS. AppMap 1.1 Vitt, Mark $0 allows you to define which keys perform a specific function so that the same key combination will perform the same operation in different programs. DOS Command Synonym Translator 1.0 (SYNONYM) CodeCrafters $10 is a (1.5k+) TSR which translates abbreviated commands on the DOS command line into the fully spelled out commands. For example, DA could be used to generate DIR A:/W. It also provides a facility for chaining several DOS commands on a single command line using a user definable separator character. The program tested fine under DV with PCED and other TSR's loaded. DynakeyS (DS-MS) Sawada, Dr. Masaaki $10-$20 lets you pop up a menu to redefine a key for another key. The menu also allows you to send up to 20 characters of codes to one of your serial ports. (res:1k) FK20 allows you to assign strings up to 24 characters in length to each of the function keys, so you can give an entire command or file name with a single keypress. Func21 Weisz, Jim $? enables the use of eighteen of the function keys that PC-DOS doesn't use. The important difference between this and other keyboard definers (such as ANSI.SYS), is that this one only intercepts function keys during 'command line input' (DOS function 0xA). The result is that editors and other programs which look for function keys as single keystrokes don't get the new definition instead. Hitter Farmer, B. A. $? performs several functions: redefines function keys 1-10 for most commonly used DOS commands, toggles between monochrome and colour monitor by using control + right/left shift key, modifies the disk base parameters to speed up diskette, stays resident in memory and intercepts the keyboard interrupt. PRMPT Seidl, Gerald $? is a batch file that will redefine the function keys for DOS and display their new functions in a highlighted bar at the top of the screen while in DOS. Since the chances are that you will not want the same commands that this file sets up, the real value of PRMPT.BAT is that you can easily modify the file to your own needs. (If you use a word processor, remember to save the file in ASCII format.) Prompt2 tells how to redefine keys with the PROMPT command. Redefine 2.14 (REDEF) Swift-Ware $10 is a 65K TSR that allows you to assign a string of up to 60 characters to a single combination of the ALT/function keys and a number key. These can be used to store long path names, often repeated commands, etc. Definitions can be saved and reloaded, or easily created on the fly. Other options include a file viewer, pop-up calendar, notepad, disk formatter, and more. Re-Definest (REDEFIN) Ryan, Eric $? will allow you to redefine up to 37 different keys to represent another string of characters. You must have ANSI or NANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file (see your DOS manual). If you don't already use a keyboard macro program such as SuperKey, you will find this utility saves you a lot of keystrokes while in DOS by letting you assign common DOS commands to different keys. Because it is easy to use, you can quickly assign keystrokes to keys "on the fly". TigerKey (TIGERKE) Hungry Tiger Software $0 makes it easy to assign DOS commands to your function keys via ANSI.SYS. --------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #12091 --------------------------------- ----------------------------- 2458 Special Key Redefinition Small Programs Disk ----------------------------- CapsRls 1.4 makes your computer's Caps Lock key behave like a typewriter's. Pressing either shift key automatically releases the Caps Lock. This prevents annoyances like: eVERY gOOD bOY dESERVES fAVOR. As a secondary function, CAPSRLSE optionally presets all the keyboard toggle keys to your preferences when you install it. res:1k CtrlCaps 1.1 (CTRLCAP) Meyer, Eric $0 is a small TSR that makes the CapsLock key function as the Ctrl key. Unlike similar utilities that swap the state of the two keys, CtrlCaps only makes the CapsLock key act as a Ctrl key when it is held down while typing another key; when pressed by itself and released, it still works like a CapsLock key. Cursor Off Scroll LOcK (COSLOK) Charles Lazo III $0 lets the ScrollLock key serve to freeze the computer and make the cursor disappear. Any keys pressed after pressing ScrollLock are stored in the key buffer until ScrollLock is pressed again. Assembly language source code is included. res:1k Dvora Sawada, Dr. M. $5 is a 2K TSR that turns your QWERTY keyboard to one of four alternative keyboard layouts which are intended to make typing easier and faster. One of the layouts is optimized for those who want to or must type with their left hand only; another is a layout for the right hand. Despite the name, neither of two-handed arrangements appear to be a DVORAK layout. DvorakKB (DVORAK) FAB Software $20 is a 1.5k TSR utility which will reconfigure your keyboard from the QWERTY to the DVORAK layout. Unlike the standard QWERTY layout, the Dvorak layout has been designed to maximize typing speed by rearranging the most frequently typed letters onto the most easily reached positions. F11F12 Rabinowitz, Chip $? lets you redefine the F11 and F12 keys on the IBM Enhanced Keyboard. Fix101KY 1.0 (FIX101K) Hanlin, Thomas G. III $0 makes the 101-key enhanced keyboard more like other pc keyboards by changing several keys (shown in square brackets []): [~`] to [Esc]; [Esc] to [~`]; [CapsLock] to [Ctrl]; [Ctrl] to [Alt]; and [Alt] to [CapsLock]. TSR:1k KBDR is a TSR driver that provides support for function keys 11 and 12 for those whose computers do not automatically support the 101-key keyboards. A C test program and source code are included. KBMap swaps the functions of the Ctrl and CapsLock keys on a 286 machine. The accompanying assembler source code could be modified to remap any and all keys on the keyboard. KeyLock is a program to try to help physically handicapped persons to use a PC. For someone who can only hit one key at a time, key sequences like control-C or alt-F1 or ctrl-alt-delete become impossible. This program changes the ctrl, alt, and the left shift keys into locking keys, much like the num lock or caps lock keys. KeyFix101 1.22 (KFIX101) SofTek Industries $10 lets you swap the functions of the Ctrl and CapsLock keys on the new 101-key keyboards. It also lets you control cursor size, lock the keyboard when you are away, and adjust the keyboard typeamatic rate. NewEnter (NEWENTE) is a handy utility if you like to use the number pad to enter numbers. Newenter loads into memory and turns the grey plus key into another Enter key. NewkBios (NEWKBIO) Gilliland, Jim $0 allows old programs to recognize all the function keys (ie: F11 and F12) on new keyboards. PrtSc Donnelly, Tom $0 allows the print-screen key to be disabled or enabled. S-Lock activates the Scroll-Lock key to serve as a Pause key. Tild-ESC (TILD-ES) Geyer, Mike $0 swaps the role of the [Escape] and [Tilde] keys. For use with keyboards that have these keys awkwardly located. Assembler source code included. res:1k 2458 Key Disabling ------------------ Inson lets you disable the CapsLock and Insert keys so that you do not accidentally toggle them on or off. You can re-enable the keys by pressing Alt-LeftShift at the same time. WARNING: INSON may conflict with other TSR's. In particular, after loading it into memory, we were unable to pop up My-Desk again until we turned the computer off and back on. (A warm boot didn't help.) res:1k Leave Angel, Dave $? was written to temporarily disable the CapsLock and NumLock keys for a blind and deaf person who has no other way to be sure of not accidentally activating these keys. (Also see Lockbeep on disk #2995, which makes a different sound when each of the -Lock keys are turned on or off LockKey Ford, Nelson ASP $0 lets you enter a password, blank the screen and lock the keyboard when you are going to be away from the computer for a while, such as at lunch. To regain control, press a key and enter the password. NoPrtSc disables the right-shift-key-PrtSc combination to keep you from hanging your computer by accidentally pressing those keys when no printer is available. NoReset Rhea, Tony A. $? disables the <Ctrl><Alt><Del> keyboard reset sequence. Once this program is installed, the only way to reboot the system is to turn the power off and then back on. -------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #2458 -------------------------------- Newkey FAB Software ASP $43 #0290 is a resident keyboard macro program. It was PC Magazine's "Editor's Choice" in a comparative review. Newkey lets you assign a series of keystrokes to almost any key or combination of keys, thus allowing you to execute the keystrokes (or commands) by simply pressing a key. Features include variable length pauses, fixed length pauses, nested macros, the ability to temporarily disable a key's redefinition so that its original meaning can be entered, full-featured macro editor, a shorthand mode (eg: typing "vty" could be automatically translated to insert "very truly yours" in its place), keyboard speedup, the ability to pop up even if in graphics, screen on/off macro function, screen blanker that works with EGA/VGA, macro can call itself, define a macro within a macro, multi-character macro names, 128-keystroke typeahead buffer, cut and paste, EMS memory usage, and more. Several macro functions are provided that make it possible to test the screen, and a macro that will invoke the print-screen function is included. ------------------------------ 0278 Keyboard Utilities, Other Small Programs Disk ------------------------------ 0278 Printing Custom Key Templates ---------------------------------- Fntempl Robinson, Wayne E. $? is a program for creating function key templates for the 101-key keyboard. Lets you save, edit templates. Allows four ten-character lines per function key. Requires Epson-compatible printer. FKeylbl prints custom function key templates. FKeyTem Ford, Nelson ASP $0 is a text file that contains two template forms for the function keys across the top of an enhanced (101-key) keyboard. Fk-notes is a form to use to keep track of function key assignments. To print it, you need an Epson compatible printer and the utility TINY on the Epson Printer Set-Up disk. 0278 Key Speedup ---------------- Hurry Key 1.5 (HK) Zuckerman, John B. $25 is a 54k TSR that lets you speed up keyboard repeat action while preventing cursor run-on. If 54k of RAM is too much, some of the other utilities in this seciton have fewer features but take less RAM. For example, TCURS only takes 5k, but we had some problems with it when rebooting a machine and it doesn't allow independent speedup of each key. HotKey Speeds up your keyboard's typeamatic response, but puts the breaks on when you remove your finger so that you don't overshoot, unlike some other keyboard speedup utilities. Keyspeed (KEYSPEE) Housh, Rick $0 is a keyboard speedup utility for AT and PS/2 compatible computers. It is not a TSR and takes no memory after running it. The keyboard can be reset from DOS at any time. Assembler source code is included. Quick Key Repeat 1.2 (QKRP) Meyer, Eric $0 is a keyboard speedup utility. Versions are included for standard and enhanced keyboards. SpeedKey (SPEEDKE) Zuckerman, John B. $? allows you to speed up your keyboard. TCURS Prototype Systems Ltd. $? TurboCursor allows you to zip the cursor around but stop as soon as you lift your finger from the cursor keys. Speed and delay time are adjustable. Unlike utilities that speed up the typeamatic rate on all the keys - even dangerous ones like DEL - Tcurs just affects the cursor keys. It can be disabled at any time by pressing Ctrl-5. Actually, it is also disabled when NumLock is on since using the Shift key to get cursor movement with NumLock on does not result in a speedup. More good news: it only takes 5.5k of RAM. An alarm clock is thrown in for good measure. In testing, we had problems unless TCURS was loaded before other resident utilities. Also, if you do a warm boot (Ctrl-Alt-Del), TCURS will not reload because it thinks it is already loaded, but it will not work again until you do a cold boot (as in: Big Orange Switch). WarpSped 1.0 (WARPSPE) FAB Software $20 is a keyboard utility which will dramatically speed up the repetition rate of your keyboard, and it does it without overrun. Overrun occurs when you release the key you have been holding down and yet the key continues to repeat. In addition, the program does it using less than 1K of memory. (res: 1k) #0278 Miscellaneous ------------------- Abbreviator 4.0 (ABBREV) HiPerSoft Systems $38 is a TSR that expands user-defined abbreviations into character strings of up to 1760 characters. For example, in your word processor, you could type "myname" and have it insert your name and address. It can also be used in DOS to execute multiple commands from a single word input. AutoMate 1.1 (AUTOMAT) Friesen, Geoff $0 creates .COM files that can load specified programs and execute specified keystrokes. It is intended primarily for automating the execution of various program tasks. For example, you could create a COM file that would run PC-Write (or WordPerfect, or whatever), load a file, print it, and exit the program. CAF 1.1 Hanson, Scott $0 allows switching between the foreign and domestic keyboards loaded with KeyB in DOS 3.3+. FileC 1.06 (FILEC) (11-93 CD) Morearty, Mike $0 is a 2.5k TSR which allows you to type only the first few characters of long file names in DOS and then it fills in the rest. KeyStuff 1.0 (KEYSTFF) RSE, Inc. $20 reads keystrokes stored in a file and stuffs them into the keyboard, resulting in a program that can automate a task and execute it unattended. Special characters can be inserted into the file so that KeyStuff will wait a specified period of time before continuing. Data files may include function keys, cursor keys, backspace key, etc. You can tell KeyStuff to initiate the stuffing immediately, when a hot key is pressed, or even unattended at some later time. -------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #0278 [25] -------------------------------- -------------------------- 2995 Keyboard Utilities #2 Small Programs Disk -------------------------- 2995 Key Status Indicators -------------------------- Caps Flarity, Carl $5 is RAM-resident and shows you the state of keyboard caps by changing the size of the cursor. Even if your keyboard has a "caps lock" light, you may find this useful because you don't have to take your eyes off the screen as you type. (res:1k) Keystat displays status of CapsLock and NumLock keys. Lockbeep (LOCKBEE) sound a different, distinctive tone for each of the -Lock keys when pressed. Locksoff (LOCKSOF) provides an easy way to turn off all of your -Lock lights (and functions) at once. 2995 Multi-Feature Utilities ---------------------------- Fastbuff 2.0 (FASTBUF) Steiner, David $? is a do-it-all keyboard enhancer. Features include variable size keyboard buffer, increased key repeat rate, anti-skid braking, screen blanking, repeat characters entered through the alt-keypad, and the ability to enter graphics characters with the alt-keypad for clones that don't handle that function well. KBFix30 Gilbrech, Skip $? Among the features are keyboard/cursor speedup, an on-screen display of the status of the -Lock keys, an enlarged typeahead buffer, a ScollLock key activator, and much more. Sumacs is a Sidekick-like program with resident calculator, notepad, etc. keyboard macro program SwapCaps and Swapnum (SWAP) change the status of your -Lock keys. The author claims that they will change the state of the keys without changing the LED on some keyboards, so that if the two get out of sync, you can get them back together with the SWAP utilities. However, on our AST, the programs DID change the LED along with the state of the keys, but this might work on other types of machines. 2995 Other ---------- Buffer Stuffers (BUFSTUF) Keuter, Al $15 is an expanded keyboard type-ahead buffer and a buffer-stuffer. The buffer takes less than 1k and the stuffer, less than 5k. A large buffer lets you type-ahead more while waiting for the computer to complete a task. The stuffer lets you pass keystrokes to other programs. CapUnlok 1.0 (CAPUNLK) Thatcher, Jim $5-$10 is a 7K TSR that turns off Caps Lock when shift and any letter is pressed, in order to prevent rEVERSE cAPITALIZATION lIKE tHIS. Click (CLICKEW) Wooten, Emery $0 sets the keyboard click level on the AST Premium 286. ClickJL Llubia, Jorge $0 is program that makes a "click" sound every time you press a key. Depending upon what kind of computer you have it will make different kinds of clicks. DKey (DKEY-KG) Graham, Keith P. $0 will display keystroke information such as scan code ASCII and shift state. Euro KeyBoard 1.02 (EKB) Meyer, Eric $0 lets you enter special characters needed for most European languages with just a couple of keystrokes. Unlike using Alt and the numberpad, EKB is very intuitive and easy to use. EXC 2.6 09-93 CD Crider, Gary C. $20 is a simple but powerful script processor for automating DOS applications. It is not a TSR, so it doesn't use up memory after the application is done. (Not on this disk. Ask for disk #18141.) HELPSpc 1.00 Sanche, Neal A. $5-$15 lets you easily insert special ASCII characters into documents in your word processor. This 6k TSR pops up an attractive menu bar with pull-down selection menus for various types of special characters. The groups are Alpha, Bullets, Currency symbols, Greek letters, Math symbols and non-English Punctuation. Alpha has sub-menus show each variant of various English letters. For example, if you select "A", you get a selection of 10 accented or otherwise varied ASCII characters built around the letter "A" or "a". Pressing Enter at any time inserts the highlighted character into your editor. KbdLock 2.2 Comstock, Seth W. $10 is a tiny (544 byte) TSR that can lock the keyboard and disable the mouse when using DOS programs. This is is useful when running demos or other programs that you don't want interrupted. All keys except the hotkey combination are locked out, including Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Break and PrintScreen. Keyboard (KEYBOAR) displays the scan codes for enhanced keyboards as you press the keys. KBTest simply tells you if your computer's BIOS will support the extended keys on the new keyboards. Maxkey EZ Software, Inc. $0 is a keyboard type-ahead buffer extender. It is simple, small (1.3k), and freeware. (Source code is available for $20.) ResetKBD (RESETKB) is a little program used with Assembler that will allow you to reset the Numlock, Scroll Lock and Capslock that some programs leave set. Russian Word Processor (RUSS) Tavolga, Bill $15 transforms your keyboard into a Cyrillic alphabet typewriter as used by the Russian language, and serves as a basic word processor. Scancode (SCANCOD) Fallen, David L. $0 is useful for determining the scan and ASCII values for any key or combination of keys. The program displays the values returned by the interrupt 16H (with AH=0). These values are useful when patching programs which require "Hot Keys", thus allowing you to avoid conflicts of Hot Keys among several memory resident programs. Shft2Lok (SHFT2LO) lets you turn CapsLock on and off using the Shift keys. Teclado Groover, Henry A. $15 is a resident keyboard interpreter meant to replace any of IBM's national keyboard programs. It was originally written to replace KEYBSP, hence the name TECLADO. TINSTALL, the installation program for TECLADO.COM, allows redefinition of the entire keyboard in two alternate layouts. The Controller 1.21 (THECONT) AACRO Computer Systems $79 is a script-driven TSR (32K) which can be used to run any DOS based program. It uses a simple language which easily interfaces with both DOS and DOS programs. It can read the screen for prompts to start or stop a process, can stop or start at prescribed times, can upload text into data fields of programs, and much more. The size of the source script is limited only by disk size. XKEY Richwell, Gunner $10 is a resident program that can be used with your editor to write extended ASCII characters by scrolling through a pop-up list of them and selecting the one you want by pressing Enter. Another TSR (`BOX') by the same author locked up our machines, so we were a little nervous about this one, but it seems to work fine. (res:1k) Yes/No PrtScr 1.1 (YNPRTSC) Segue Corporation $0 is a TSR that confirms before printing when you press PrtSc. This keeps you from accidentally printing screens or even locking up your machine if you don't have a printer on. -------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #2995 -------------------------------- ----------------------- 1671 Mouse and Joystick Small Programs Disk ----------------------- 21LGMA Petherick, Dave $0 is a MS Windows-like, LOGITECH 3 button mouse menu system which follows a similar menu layout and menu text of Wordperfect for Macintosh. CalJoy 2.2 EC Systems $10 allows you to test and calibrate both joysticks simultaneously.You can calibrate with cross-hairs or using numeric data. Joyforce 1.0 (JOYFORC) Bohning, Terry $0 allows you to force system recognition of your joystick game port if your system does not recognize it on its own. JoyMouse (JOYMOUS) Roy, Donald $0 lets a joystick be used in place of cursor keys, giving faster response and allowing the buttons to be defined as keys of your choice. Joysetup 1.1 (JOYSETU) Bohning, Terry $15 allows test and adjustment of either or both joysticks simultaneously. The program automatically senses attached sticks and configures itself appropriately. JRES lets you use a joystick in place of cursor keys. Keyboard Mouse (KBM) When you write arcade-style games or screen graphics software, you must always supply a keyboard interface for those users who don't own a joystick or a mouse. However, the keyboard's typematic response time is poor, so the pointer motion is slow (one column or line per repeat) or jumpy (several increments per repeat). This utility solves that problem. K4menu Davis, Lori J. $0 is a Microsoft Mouse driver for KEdit 4.0. Left-Handed Mouse (LFTMOUS) Palmer, John Andrew $5 will allow you to swap left and right buttons that will turn any right-handed Microsoft compatible mouse into a left-handed mouse. This is a TSR that take 512 bytes. Lmenus Brutzman, Don $5 contains seven sets of Logitech mouse menus. One pair lets you use the mouse in place of function keys. Another pair work with nearly any game or application. The "Keyboard" driver lets you use a mouse in place of the keyboard. AllKeys, which allows mouse substitution for the keyboard, great for on-line or hands-free use. The other set Lines, draws fast & easy lines and boxes. Logicolr (LOGICL) Lewis, Don $0 is a set of compiled mouse menus to be used with the Logitech C7 mouse. The menus may work with other brands of mice if the definitions are recompiled. A color monitor is also required. LogKey Brutzman, Donald P. $5 lets you use a Logitech mouse in place of function keys and cursor keys. MKey 1.0 Chanson, Gary $0 converts mouse movements and button presses into keystrokes which can be used by any program, as well as DOS.

MouseReport (MOUSRPT) Gilbert, Tom $0 displays information about your system's mouse driver, including buffer size, horizontal and vertical sensitivity (expressed in mickeys/pixel), speed threshold, driver version, and more. Assembler source included. MS-DB4 is a mouse menu system for use with dBase IV. MSM4DOS Schneider, Richard $5 is a MS mouse menu which allows execution of long and often repetitive DOS commands via pull down menus. Microsoft MOUSE.SYS or MOUSE.COM and MENU.COM are required to utilize the menu. OKMouse Graham, Keith P. $0 is a mouse driver for Mouse Systems mouse. Includes MASM source. PCFDB LaChe', Tom $0 is a set of mouse drivers (Logitech and Microsoft) to be used with PC-File:dB. PCFMM 1.1 Stevens, Mark, M. D. $0 is a Microsoft Mouse-compatible driver for use with PC-FILE+, version 2.0 only. It provides over 30 context-sensitive mouse menus from which nearly every function of PC-FILE+ can be accessed. It is completely transparent, and does not interfere with the normal operation of the program in any way. Poor Mans Mouse (PMM-UP) $0 is a 19k TSR that allows a joystick to be used like a mouse. QD2 (QD2-GS) Summers, George D. $0 is a Logitech C7 mouse interface for the retail-sold DOS shell program Q-DOS II. QEdit Mouse Driver 2.0 (QM) Houston, Jerry $0 is a Microsoft/Logitech compatible mouse driver for QEDIT. Universal Mouse Adapter (UMA) Leithauser, David $5 is a 1k TSR that allows you to use a mouse with many cursor-controlled programs that do not support a mouse. You can also assign three different keys (such as Enter, PgUp, F1) to the left button, right button and both button presses. WS5MM 2.0 Stevens, Mark A., M.D. $5 is a mouse menu for use with Microsoft mouse for WordStar Professional 5.0. XTmenu Khalsa, Guruka Singh $0 is a Microsoft mouse menu for Xtree Pro. Xtree Greenhut, Rick $0 is a Microsoft mouse (Two Button) menu for the retail program XTREE Pro. -------------------------------- END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #1671 -------------------------------- 3PMouse Polakoff, Pedro P. III $10 each #1592 is a collection of mouse drivers for Procomm+, Procomm 2.4.2, Turbo Pascal 4, Turbo-C 1.0/1.5, PC-Write 2.71 and MicroStar 4.0. ARRMouse 1.6 Comstock, Seth W. $18 #12013 is a 1.3K TSR that lets you use a mouse with programs which do not directly support a mouse. It translates mouse movements and button clicks into keystrokes. DOS Phantom 2.8c [PHANTOM] 09-93 CD P2 Enterprises ASP $25 #12113 is a task automation utility. It records and plays back key stroke series of any length, and can be edited after recording. Recordings can be played back at high speed or with delays. Playback can be scheduled for a specified time or invoked with a hot key. Recordings can be edited to include pop-up text windows, pop-up menus, pauses for user input, and branching based on menu selection, program exit status, and appearance of a text string on the screen. DOS Phantom may be used as a software testing tool with screen and print capture, for creating self-executing demos, or for automating complex data processing tasks for novice users. Mouse Support Reed Bros. $43 #3543 is designed to make a Logitech or compatible mouse work on most any program. Support is provided for Word Perfect, Xtree, Formtool, Quicken, Procomm, and many more. Generic menus are provided that allow you to play around with the mouse to make it run on programs that are not directly supported. It requires MENU.COM which comes with most Logitech or compatible mice. PK II (Powerkit II) Brooks, John H. $20 #1755 is a 2k TSR keyboard utility that will speed up keyboard typeamatic (auto-repeat) rate yet still "stop on a dime". It will enlarge the keyboard buffer plus let you see the contents of the buffer. It lets you route printer output to the screen; escape from some program lockups; use pop-up utilities with some programs that normally will not let you use pop-ups (the "Hook" feature).
