                KExtend 1.0 a BIOS enhancer for US keyboards 
               ͼ


                                  ͻ
                                   by SET 
                                  ͼ


ͻ
 What a hell is KExtend?                                                   
                                                  
   Is a simple TSR program that hooks the keyboard interrupt and forces the 
 BIOS to report some special keys.                                          
   These keys are:                                                          
   Ctrl+ ` 1 4 5 7 8 9 0 = ; ' , . and /                                    
   and the Macro key.                                                       
ͼ

ͻ
 What's the 'Macro' key?                                                   
                                                  
   Is the 102th key of the 102 keys keyboards. If I'm right it was used by  
 Lotus 123 to trigger macros. I never saw a program that uses it (of course 
 my editor uses it ;-). The main reasons for that are:                      
                                                                            
 1. BIOS doesn't report it.                                                 
 2. Old keyboards of 83,84 and 101 keys doesn't have it.                    
 3. New 105 and 107 keys keyboards doesn't have it.

 So ... what can I do with it?                                             
                                            
   Well ... almost nothing if you aren't using my editor. If you are using  
 RHIDE then you are making that.                                            
   In this case you can assign functions to these keys. As default the      
 editor uses Ctrl+Number to jump to the markers, that's much more easy      
 than Ctrl+Q-Number. If you don't use KExtend you can't use it.             
   If you don't use my editor perhaps the editor you are using can use      
 it too.

 Can it damage my computer?                                                
                                               
   I don't know ;-)). I don't take any responsability for any kind of       
 problem you can experiment using this program. That means you can't        
 blame me for anything produced directly or indirectly by it.               
   If you think in C read: #include <no garanty>                            
   :-P these disclamer sections ...

 Is it compatible with WinBlows 2008 hypercharged?                         
                        
   I don't have a crystal ball, is it doesn't work just don't use it.       
   It works in DOS 6.X and in my machine.

 How much money must I pay for it?                                         
                                        
   Well ... hmmm ... nothing, it took me less than 3 hours. But if you      
 really use it I'll ask to you one of the following things:                 
                                                                            
 1. Send me some code from you (look below how to contact me).              
 2. Send me one of the silly things I collect: coins, out-of use money      
 and train tickets, from your country.                                      
 3. Hey! at least send me a post card of your town.

 Why do you write so funny and with a lot of errors?
