[comp.sys.laptops] NEC UltraLite question

wbe@bbn.com (Winston Edmond) (03/02/91)

   The NEC UltraLite has CAPS LOCK to the left of 'A', and CTRL below SHIFT.
Can the meanings of the CAPS LOCK and CTRL keys be swapped without hardware
modifications?  (I'm assuming that CAPS LOCK is a shift-like key that doesn't
use a physical toggle action.)  Thanks in advance.

I wrote a pair of programs to rationalise the arrangement of CTRL, ALT,
and CAPS-LOCK keys for people using laptops with one arrangement and
desktops with another.  I uploaded them to chyde.uwasa.fi a while ago.
They are in a zip archive called fixkey.zip.  I also sent them to cbip,
but they haven't appeared yet.  They are small TSRs that take a couple
hundred bytes of memory.
