[comp.binaries.ibm.pc] Seeking program to speed up key repeat rate

agollum@engr.uky.edu (David Herron aka Admiral Gollum) (03/26/88)

In episode <6303@bellcore.bellcore.com>, we
heard tr@wind.UUCP (tom reingold) say:
>So, as the subject line says, please send me a program or a pointer
>to a program that will make the keys repeat fast on the Compaq 386.
>In other words, when I hold down any key, I want the key to repeat
>faster than normal.

Direct mail bounced so here is QUICKEYS.COM from PC magazine (their
utilities disk, to be specific).  It works fine on my AT w/enhanced 
keyboard, though the dedicated arrow keys, insert, home, etc. won't
repeat as fast as the keypad keys.  It only takes up 672 bytes and
can be loaded more than once if once isn't fast enough (though my
system crashed when I tried 4 at once).  Hasn't given me a bit
of trouble.
