KEYCOPY Version 1.01 (c) Copyright Christopher E BoVee 1990 May 23,1991 Keycopy ------------- Purpose: You use KEYCOPY to keep a record of any keyboard activity on your computer. This includes usage in Wordperfect 5.0,Multimate,Norton Editor. Keycopy copy's each keystroke to a buffer within the KEYCOPY program area. When the keycopy buffer has 200 keystrokes in memory, keycopy will copy the buffer to a file with a date and time stamp. The file default is c:\keycopy. You can specify drive,subdirectory and file name by having the parameter file called KC.PRM in the subdirectory where KEYCOPY is executed from. If you change the KC.PRM file and want the change to take effect with keycopy. The computer will have to be rebooted, and Keycopy executed again. Keycopy has been tested and used with DOS 3.3 and 4.0 and uses less than 3k of memory. If the text file KC.PRM contains the following : C:\EXAMPLE\ALIAS.MEE If the text above is in the KC.PRM file when Keycopy is executed, the next time the keycopy buffer is dumped to the disk, the information will be written to DRIVE SUBDIRECTORY FILE NAME Keycopy can be forced to dump the buffer to the disk by pressing CTRL & RIGHT SHIFT. Keycopy will only write to the disk if there is some keystrokes pending in the keycopy buffer. If you have a 2 minute period of no key activity, KEYCOPY will write the buffer and the time/date stamp to the disk. Putting Keycopy on your system with a hard disk : COPY A:KEYCOPY.COM C:\ /V COPY'S THE PROGRAM KEYCOPY FROM THE KEYCOPY DISK DRIVE A TO THE HARD DRIVE C ROOT DIRECTORY. To activate KEYCOPY type : KEYCOPY You can tell that KEYCOPY has been sucessfully activated when the copyright and the CTRL-RSHIFT buffer write message appears. Keycopy is now activated. You can now press the ENTER key, then the CTRL & RIGHT SHIFT. You should see the hard disk light flash once. To display what keycopy has been dumping to the disk : TYPE C:\KEYCOPY|MORE When you type this, the keycopy text file will display a page full and stop. To look at the next page press the ENTER key. By doing this you can scan down the KEYCOPY text file and look at the keyboard activity. You may want to use an editor to look at this file, so you can scan up and down the file. If you are using a editor to look at the KEYCOPY file do not save changes when exit the editor, this will mess up the file pointers in the file. A file editor good for examining the keyboard activity file is LIST.COM or NE.COM 1.5. To disable header when executing Keycopy, enter the following. Keycopy >junk {this will redirect the display output from keycopy to a file called junk.} If you are using KEYCOPY and find it of value, you may get a registered copy on 3 1/2 or 5 1/4 for $20.
