Ok, let me rephrase: "if you are in such trouble (with a very low probability) then you MUST install KEYB. > b) I was referring to MKEYB anyway ;) Yeah, I wasn't. :) > > There would remain the problem of loading EMM AFTER KEYB, > c) EMM386 can have the int15 first always - EMM386 is *the* BOSS > in a virtual environment (it call the real mode int's itself) Yes, but in this case you have to (as KEYB does) write a new handler for int9h to explicitely call int15h, so you are in the same trouble ;-) Now that you mention it, I just wonder if KEYB xx /9 will have troubles in VMWARE (probably). > d) this would be a problem if emm386 is loaded *before* (m)keyb, and > keyb handles all keys Actually few keys are handled by (M)KEYB itself, most are just chained. > > but I've > > always wondered why, at 0 cost, EMM386 cannot be loaded from > > commandline. > DOS won't see UMB's then Yes, this means you don't get this benefit, but my point was: you don't get any damage. Ok, Michael's argument almost convinced me, but it would always be interesting to see how it behaves: you only recommend/support to be loaded as device driver, but you may learn a lot too :) Aitor ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
