Checksum: 932781456 (Verify with "brik -cv") Posting-number: Volume 07, Issue 220 Submitted-by: news@lance.hss.bu.oz.au Archive-name: numon/part01 numlock control utility. Submitter says: I just realised there may be a lot of frustrated people out there who could benefit by these simple utilities. Apologies if similar have been submitted previously. [ these are welcome, people will select what fits their needs -wed ] Description: NUMOFF clears the numlock function on ATs and compatibles (probably works on PS/2 beasties as well) for people who find it annoying. NUMOFF turns it back on again. What happens: These are utilities which set the keyboard status flags at location absolute location 0x417 so that numlock will be turned off or on. This is reproducible by ANDing that location with 0xDF to disable or ORing with 0x20 to turn on. This should work with any AT compatible machine and probably PS/2s as well. Usage: Place numoff in your autoexec.bat Use them wherever appropriate in batch files. Bugs: It's too simple to do anything wrong. At worst nothing should happen. Disclaimer: No responsibilty for any damage sustained from concentrating and inhaling these substances. Licence: Do what you like but please don't modify them.
