[comp.sys.mac] Dvorak layout

binder@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Tim Binder) (02/27/89)

I used to have a DA that switched the keyboard from QWERTY to Dvorak. I never
found one, however, that works on my current system (Mac+ System 6.02). Could
someone direct me towards one? I looked in Sumex archives, but couldn't
seem to find one there. (Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, though).
  As usual, thanks.
  Tim

i've been looking for one also, someone here needs to Dvorak DA/installer that
will work on a plus (since he doesn't have an SE or ][, he can't use the
installer that in turned on by using an Fkey). if anyone has an installer/DA
that works with 6.0.x, please post/e-mail it.

        I wrote a FKEY for the Dvorak layout last year.  All the it does was
switch KCHR resources, which I have also made based on an 85 MacWorld article.
If interested I'll send you the FKEY suitcase and KCHR resource, which needs
to be installed with ResEdit or Suitcased.  The KCHR resource also works with
the Keyboard Control Panel device.
        By the way, on QWERTY I normaly type 30 WPM by advanced hunt and peck,
on Dvorak, which I am still not comfortable with (I have been using it for
about a month), I am typing 45 WPM.
