Does anyone know of a program which will allow me to remap the position of the CTRL and CAPS LOCK key on an enhanced keyboard ? I want to swap the two one-for-one.

I >want to swap the two one-for-one. I typed the following little program in from an old PC magazine, and use it all the time on my enyukked keyboards to "fix" them. The only time it doesn't work is with Microsoft Windows, because it "gets in lower" i.e. grabs the interrupt itself. To enter this, go into debug, type e100 then type the hex data that is shown, and hit the space bar after every pair of characters. Then type "nctrlcaps.com<enter>" and "rcx c0" to set the length, then w to write the file then q to quit. c:\sys\bin\CTRLCAPS.COM 0100 E9A30043 6F707972 69676874 20313938 |i#.Copyright 198| 0110 37205A69 66662D44 61766973 20507562 |7 Ziff-Davis Pub| 0120 6C697368 696E6720 436F2E20 4D696368 |lishing Co.

CAUTION - might be line noise screwing up a byte or two. I'm a PC user and only know there is something called "uuencode" but that's about all. Sample debug sessions start: debug -e100 xxxx:0100 <shows old value at 100>e9<space><old value @ 101>a3<space> etc
