I believe a have encountered a bug (or at least a very annoying
feature) in PC-DOS 2.0.
I was trying to convert my keyboard into the Dvorak layout using
the ANSI.SYS key assignment.
The problem is that there doesn't seem to be enough assignments to
cover the whole keyboard. I wrote separate files for the first row, second,
and third. Each works individually to convert their own row, however when
typed consecutively (with a batch file OR as a concatenated file) they cause
the keyboard to hang. This happens midway through the third file, and is
independent of the order in which the files are typed to the screen.
How do I get around this problem? Why does this problem exist (too
small a buffer, maybe?) And, though I still wish to know the answer to this,
is there a better way to remap the keyboard to Dvorak from QWERTY.
Replies welcome from all over. Mail me at the address below, and
especially, ARE YOU OUT THERE, MICROSOFT?
