The following TSR, which I wrote and distribute freely, makes the caps lock
key into another caps lock key, and rightshift-caps lock into a caps lock
key.

I post this every time someone complains about that stupidly designed keyboard
(will IBM ever get it right?). My personal solution has been to buy Northgate
Omnikey/102 keyboards for the systems I use. Many clone keyboards have a switch
to exchange the control and caps lock keys. I recommend the purchase of
"correct" keyboards.
