Before everyone starts to re-code the keyboard stuff from scratch, I think
that I should mention that I did expand/re-write some of the keyboard code
already--it just never made CVS for some odd reason..... I will also note
that the changes I made to the code made the spanish keyboard support
under W95 work reasonably ok--and all that I was doing was filling out the
keyboard support for 102 key AT-style keyboards (the one on the current
CVS is only an 84-key setup...., which should explain some of the
internationalization problems...).
If anybody wants to see my code I can re-post it to the list........
