NBWIN, keyboard customization, CtrlPlus



My thanks to John Chernoff, who recommended CtrlPlus for Win98.  It switches
Caps Lock with Ctrl and gives you a Wordstar-like cursor-control diamond.
I've tried it with NBWIN, MS Works, Word 2000, Wordpad, Notepad, and
YeahWrite and it seems to work as described, with only one exception: ^H is
not converted into Backspace in NB, altho it works correctly in the other
programs.

A nice feature of the program is that it toggles on/off easily, so one can
easily still use ^F for Find, ^S for save, etc.  It's thus easy to turn off
when using any program that would not benefit from WS-like cursor controls.
Installing the program was much easier than modifying my nb.kbd file.  It's
cost is only $10., and it's an intelligently designed, compact, no-frills
programs that's only 7000 bytes large, about the same size as its small
ReadMe.txt file.  Three cheers to its designer, Yoji Hagiya in Japan.

I wish there were a program like it that would work with Win95.  My main
computer is my laptop, which is limited to Win95.  Anyone know of similar
program that works with Win95?

PCMZKM32.zip works under Win95 and will swap the CapsLock & Ctrl keys, but
it does not let you modify ^alpha keys.
