These requests come up regularly (why can't IBM design a good
keyboard), so here is my monthly :-) posting of kbdr.com, a tiny tsr
that makes the caps lock act as an additional control key.  The
combination rightshift-capslock gives the capslock function.

Note that this program is for AT class machines or later (PS/2) only.

Hopefully these requests will dwindle to  zero as people buy clone
keyboards with a switch on the back to exchange the keys, or buy the
Northgate Omnikey/102 keyboard (which I heartily recommend!).
