[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Anybody heard of KEYWORKS [sic]?

levy@ttrdc.UUCP (Daniel R. Levy) (05/25/88)

Another user has asked me to post this request.  He is looking for SOMETHING
(hardware? software? both?) called "KEYWORKS."  This was supposedly used or
developed (?) at AT&T at Holmdel to set up scripts or something similar to
reproduce a keyboard session (for "interactive" software testing without
requiring a person to sit there and type the input over and over).

If anyone could just kindly provide me with a CLUE as to what this is and
who distributes it, my user would be mucho grateful.

Apologies to any newsgroups to whom this might be irrelevant.  I am just
guessing at a possible ibm-pc connection (seems logical that it might be used
for such a purpose).

With TIA,

Keyworks is a keyboard macro program from Alpha Software Corp.
The program itself is helpful if you like those types of programs
and also includes a menuing system.  You can call them at:

     Keyworks is a keyboard macro program, one of many programs that allow the
user to record keystrokes and play them back.  It is NOT an AT&T developed
program.  There are (or at least used to be) different versions of Keyworks.
Many stores which specialize in software (like Egghead Software and PC
Connection -- these are only examples and are not an endorsement) carry
Keyworks.
