[comp.os.msdos.misc] keyboard record and playback TSR needed

fsg@holos0.uucp (Frank Glass) (02/28/91)

I'm looking for a utility (public domain, commercial, shareware, whatever)
which can capture keystrokes (scan codes and all) to a file and play
back to a program.  I need this to be able to automate programs which
scan the keyboard in their interactive modes.  I suppose it would have
to be a TSR.

Any and all reccomendations will be appreciated.
