SPRINTER.COM (Version 1.0)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Douglas Boling May 26, 1992 (Utilities)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPRINTER: Speeds-up cursor and PgUp and PgDn movement when a
user-selected accelerator key is pressed simultaneously.
Format: SPRINTER [/K xx] [/S n] [/U] [/D] [/E] [/?]
Remarks: SPRINTER is a small (1K) TSR that can be installed by
running it from the DOS prompt or by including it as a line in an
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The utility defaults to using either Alt key as
the accelerator key. By using the optional /K nn switch, either at the
time of installation or subsequently, the default accelerator key can
be changed with different values of nn, thus:
/K S Either Shift key
/K LS Left Shift key
/K RS Right Shift key
/K A Either Alt key
/K LA Left Alt key
/K RA Right Alt key
/K C Either Control key
/K LC Left Control key
/K RC Right Control key
The amount by which SPRINTER accelerates cursor and paging speed
can be set by using the /S x switch, using x values from 1 through 9.
The default value is 2.
Because SPRINTER is not compatible with programs that take over
the BIOS interrupt (Int 9), it will have no effect on Windows
applications. Certain DOS applications also steal that interrupt.
To prevent any possible problems when changing applications while
SPRINTER remains loaded, the /D (Disable) and /E (Enable) switches can
be invoked at any time.
Subject to the usual TSR limitations (last in, first out), SPRINTER
can be uninstalled with the /U switch. Entering SPRINTER /? brings up a
help screen.
