Does anyone have the little program that will speed up the keyboard
repeat on an AT?
Thanks.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Someone finally asked an IBM-PC question that I can answer. The following works fine for me: in your autoexec.bat file include the following line debug <curspeed.deb >nul create a file on your disk that contains these 3 lines O 60 f3 O 60 0 Q name this file curspeed.deb. I don't know that I could tell you what this really does, or how (in fact I know that I couldn't) but a friend gave it to me and it works and I use it every time I turn on the machine. Enjoy, Terry Banks

It's so short I didn't think anyone would mind its being posted here. MOV AL,02 gives a speed I feel most comfortable with. MOV AL,00 speeds typematic up even more, but this can be a hassle if you leave your fingers on the keyboard even a bit too long. MOV AL,04 gives a slower speedup. This is a COM file, and should be able to be entered and saved directly form DEBUG. I got it from somebody who I think saw it in PC Magazine or the like; I don't know for sure, so I can't give credit where it is due. -- Charles Blair ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!cjdb The University of Chicago lib.cb%chip@UChicago.Bitnet
