********************KEYMATE (C)********************by Greg Jones************* Keymate is one of those little tools you can do without until you use it. Basically, it's a keystroke template. (Nothing new there) This version is for Flight Simulator (Iknow, Iknow...you were furnished one of those by SubLogic when you purchased the program) But this on fits on your keyboard and folds for convenient storage. (Do I detect a glimmer of interest?) Keymate arranges commands in functional, intuitive groups so that you find that keystroke in a fraction of the time it would normally take you to look it up even if you used a quick reference sheet. What's more, groups are shaded to differentiate instantly between them. If you have a color printer, better yet. Color really nails it down...BLUE for View mode, YELLOW for Flight Controls, GREEN for Start-up...Well, you get the picture. Any takers?...OK, This one is on the house...It's hereby declared Public Domain. The only qualification is that this read-me file be included when passing along the main file "Keymate". ****************** HOW TO PUT IT TOGETHER ********************************* 1. Get out DPaint and load Keymate in HIRES. (If you don't have DPaint then use showilbm from the public domain). 2. Facing you are four horizontal strips filling the entire screen. 3. The upper two strips have been optimized for a color printout on the OKIMATE 20. The lower two strips are optimized for a grey-scale printout on any dot matrix B&W printer or a color printout on the JX-80 and a few other color printers. 4. Set your prefences settings so the aspect is at the default setting of Horizontal. Left margin set to 1 and Right margin set to 150. 5. Start printing...If you are printing in color on the Okimate 20, turn the printer off when you get the first two rows printed. This saves some precious ribbon and you don't need the bottom half. If you don't have DPaint any public domain screen dump program should do. 6. Get an exacto knife or a razor blade and a metal straight edge and trim off all the sides then carefully cut horizontally across the 2 sections. 7. The top section will be the left-hand side of the template while the bottom section will be the right side. 8. Tape the back of the two sections together to create a hinge and trim the excess tape. 9. Place your Keymate on the top section of your keyboard and enjoy! ******************************NOTES****************************************** You can use your keymate as it is and store it in a business size envelope. If it falls apart, you can always print up another one. I mount mine with adhesive spray on acetate (even a cardboard backing will help)...then I spray the front with a plastic protective coating. ********************************** THE SALES PITCH ************************** If you have Flight Simulator and have tried Keymate with it then I know I have a customer. After all, using a mouse instead of quick keyboard commands is frustratingly slow at best. This goes for many applications programs as well, and to this end I have put together a disk of Keymates for the following popular programs: 1. DPaint/DPaintII 2. Scribble 3. Microemacs 4. ON-LINE 5. Deluxe Music Construction Set 6. Lattice Unicalc 7. Superbase 8. Page Setter 9. Aegis Draw Plus If you want to order all of the above on disk, please send $ 20.00 to: GREG JONES 167 OVERMOUNT AVE W. Paterson, NJ 07424 If you do not have a color printer, I am prepared to print the specific KeyMates you desire: Okimate 20 Printout (trimmed).....................$ 6.00 Okimate 20 Printout (trimmed and mounted).........$10.00 Please send a personal check or money order rather than cash!!! In order to alleviate the natural reluctance to send money to someone you don't know, let me relieve your skepticism somewhat.
