* 5/18/92 - JKEY.PLB Version 1.06
The following changes have been made since version 1.05.

1 - If SET BELL is ON, jKey will BEEP when chars. entered do not
result in a successfull seek. If SET NEAR is ON, then no beep
is produced.

2 - If the "TALK PREFIX" specified is an asterics (*), then jKey will
use the currently selected window for its output. This allows
the user to program their own window. An example of this has been
added to the JKEYSAMP.PRG program.

3 - A "Transgressed Handle" was produced by jKey if it was called
several times, with different numbers of parameters. This has
been fixed.

* 4/2/92 - JKEY.PLB Version 1.05
The following changes have been made since version 1.04.

1 - Parameters may now be passed by reference, or value. in the
previous version of jkey, if SET UDFPARMS was to REFERENCE
and JKEYINIT was called with a variable, an 'Invalid function
type/count' error was produced.

2 - A fourth parameter has been added to JKEY. This parameter
is optional. It represents the window in which JKEY will be
active. If the fourth parameter is supplied, CTRL-F1 will
cycle through active windows, otherwise CTRL-F1 is ignored.


3 - If the third parameter to JKEYINIT (The "talk prefix") is
specified, and has a length > 0 then the Talk window will be
displayed regardles of the SET TALK setting. Otherwise
SET TALK must be set in order for the talk window to be
activated.

4 - To address european concerns with the upper and lower
case conversion, JKEY has been modified to look for a
"conversion table" when it is run. The conversion table
is in the form of an array called _JKEYINTER, which should
be defined with 1 row for each translation, two columns for
each row. The first column is the upper case ascii code, the
second the lower case code. For example, the upper case
equivalent of chr(132) is chr(142). The array would be:

decl _jKeyInter[1, 2]
_jKeyInter[1, 1] = 132
_jKeyInter[1, 2] = 142.

The file INTER.MEM is included with JKEY - it contains the
translations that I am currently aware of.

5 - A new function JKEYFOUND() has been added to JKEY. After
JKEY has been used, JKEYFOUND() will return a .T. if the
last keypress intercepted by JKEY resulted in a successfull
seek, or a .F. if the last key resulted in an unsucessfull
seek.

6 - A new function JKEYABOUT() has been added. This function
displays JKEY version info.

7 - JKEY now recognizes the CTRL-Y as a request to clear
the input/search string. Several people have requested that
the ENTER key be made to do this. The ENTER key can be redirected
to CTRL-Y with an ON KEY LABEL.

* 2/15/92 - JKEY.PLB Version 1.04
The following changes have been made since version 1.03


1 - The TALK window is now defind as FLOAT (moveable).

2 - CTRL-F7, CTRL-F8, CTRL-F9, and CTRL-F10 are no longer trapped
by JKEY. This allows keyboard users to size, move, zoom,
and minimize windows.

x - jKey has been tested to the best of my ability. Defects may
remain. If you find any, please contact me immediatly, and
I will do my best to correct jKey as quickly as possible.


xx - (The obligitory legal stuff):
jKey goes to the public as is, no warrantees expressed or
otherwise are made. No liability is held by the author
for data damage or loss resulting from the use of jKey.

xxx-jKey is shareware - feel free to use it in your applications.
If you find it useful, a registration fee of any size would
be greatly appreciated. For $30 or more you will receive
all updates to jKey.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
