[comp.sys.sun] "caps" program

phil@Rice.edu (William LeFebvre) (12/30/88)

A few issues ago I mentioned the existence of a "caps" program that turned
on and off the functionality of the CAPS lock key.  I have since placed a
shar file in the archives containing the source to this program.  I do not
remember nor can I determine who wrote this little jem.  I use it all the
time and love it!  Syntax is just like biff and mesg:  "caps n" and
"caps y" as well as a query form, "caps".

It is stored under "sun-source" and is called "caps.shar".  It is only
2964 bytes long!  It can be retrieved via anonymous FTP from the host
"titan.rice.edu" or via the archive server.  For more information about
the archive server, send a mail message containing the word "help" to the
address "archive-server@rice.edu".

The copy I have of the program was written by:

Matt Goheen
uucp:       {rutgers,ames}!rochester!srs!matt
elsewhere:  matt@srs.uucp OR matt%srs.uucp@harvard.harvard.edu

I have a modified (improved) version of the program which additionally
allows the user to make the caps lock key behave like the left had shift
key.  The other wonderful features of this program are retained.  Mail me
if you want a copy of the source.
