Keyboard Mapping routines (non-linux)

[John Fortin]

All,

    As I worked on the windows port, I discovered that Direct Input
returns keyboard scan codes.  Since I don't want to reinvent the wheel (
too much anyway!!), what is the best, most common, or least complicated
way to map a standard US keyboard. I suppose this also includes key
modifiers such as shift, control, and alt.

    I quickly looked at the linux keyboard stuff, but I don't have a lot
of the linux headers.

Thanks,
John Fortin
