This is a small utility that patches the PS2Driver on RISC PCs to allow the
Windows and Application keys present on 'Windows' keyboards to generate low
level key events. This should be all that is required to (a) allow Aleph 1
to upgrade PC Pro, (b) to allow me to do some of the projects I have wanted
to do, and (c) the enable other users to program these keys up as required.

This has only been tested on RISC OS 3.7 at the moment, but I am sure people
will report bugs if theres a problem...

I recommend you run this in your boot sequence in the PreDesk directory.

Please let me know how you get on with this software.

Low level key numbers:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have arbitrarily chosen the following low level key numbers to be used
for the new keys:

	Left Windows Key:	&68
	Right Windows Key:	&69
	Application Key:	&6A

These are not officially allocated by Acorn as yet, but I hope that they will
be accepted.

Distribution:

This may be freely distributed via the Internet provided that this message
is included in all copies. It may also be copied from person to person where
no charge is made under the same conditions.

Anyone wishing to distribute this patch via a PD library, magazine cover
disc, with a commercial piece of software, or in any other way must contact
me for permission first. Such permission will usually be granted, but I want
to keep track of what happens with it (and avoid getting emails from people
asking about out of date versions that have been put on CDs etc without my
permission - not that this has happened before, oh no).

Thanks to Stuart Tyrrell for his helpful suggestions, to Wookey for agreeing
that this was a good thing to do, and to Dave Walker of Acorn for his efforts
at that end.
