REPRATE.DOC
This program will set the TYPEMATIC rate of your PC AT keyboard
from about 2 to 30 cps. Normal rate is 10 cps.
THIS PROGRAM ONLY WORKS IN THE PC AT.
Because of the greater processing speed of the AT, some games
or utilities leave the user at a disadvantage. For example
my son was being attacked by a gigantic spider, and he only has
a small sword to defend himself with, therefore he must
strike the spider several times (I can't afford a large sword)
in order to NEUTRALIZE the spider.
In this valiant struggle the hero (my son) hits the sword key
as fast as he can, but the villain (spider running with a 16Hz
crystal) sees only a very slow hero and strikes him down with
out mercy. But alas! with the trusty REPRATE 0, he can now
strike the villain three times as fast and is able to defeat
the evil foe.
This program may also come in handy for full screen text
editors.
You can call this program from Basica:
SHELL "REPRATE X" (X being the rate desired)
You can even pass the X parameter:
10 X$ = "0" '0 = 30 CPS
20 SHELL "REPRATE "+X$ 'NOTE THE SPACE AT THE END OF REPRATE
^(Space must be there)
Rate Table:
X is a valid hex character = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
Use one of the values in the table:
X = CPS RATE X = CPS RATE
---------------------------------
0 = 30 8 = 7.5
1 = 24 9 = 6.0
2 = 20 A = 5.0
3 = 17 B = 4.3
4 = 15 C = 3.7
5 = 12 D = 3.0
6 = 10 (Normal) E = 2.5
7 = 8.6 F = 2.1
To view the rate table just type REPRATE without a parameter.
