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. -- Frank Glass Holos Software, Inc. Voice: (404) 496-1358 UUCP: ...!gatech!holos0!fsg

Stuffing keys into the buffer is no problem. I'm sure that how many of the programs I've listed below work.
