Description: SCREAM provides the possibility to change the position of keys on
your keyboard. (Not to confuse with switching between keyboard
layouts for several languages, see my program "keytbl"!)
For each key that is depressed the keyboard generates a unique scan
code that is sent to the operating system which then can detect
which key the user has depressed. With the keyboard layout table it
is then possible to evaluate the according character which may be
mapped to different keys, depending on the selected language.
SCREAM manipulates directly the scan codes that are reported by the
keyboard by intercepting those reports and changing the scan codes
if needed.
This is useful for some PC keyboards that report different scan
codes than usual on ATARI computers. For example on the "Logitech
iTouch" keyboard the positions of the Y and Z keys, among others,
are exchanged. Totally I had to redefine 11 keys for this keyboard.
This configuration is provided in the "scream.inf" file that is
part of this distribution.
