                The TYPER V1,0 *** 
                by Marcus Oblak  ( snap@maya.dei.unipd.it )
                Little tool for MS WINDOWS 3.1 or 3.11
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is it ?
        
        It's a little tool that allows you to send to any Windows' 
        application a key sequence as if it was done by using the keyboard.


What is it for ?

        ... maybe Lazy people ?  :)
        Actually the idea was born when i was using Matlab and had
        to type the names of several formulas i was working on just 
        too many times... 
        
        With 'TYPER' i customized my buttons, and simply clicking them
        i could send Matlab the keys i wanted.
        
        There is a button in the 'Add button' window named "QkRef".
        This button should load a textfile with a brief explanation
        (captured by the VB helpfile) of the synthax used to send
        keys to applications.

How does it work ?

	After installation, you should find the Typer icon in Program Manager.
	Double-click it and after a while a little gray box with a button 
	should appare to the bottom-left of the screen.
	By clicking the right button on the box (not on the button) a menu
	will appare. Chose your operations from this menu.
	After you create your buttons, by clicking the right mouse button on
	one of them you will recall another menu letting you modify or remove
	that button. Any changes will be saved.


Nothing else ?

        Actually there is something that someone could find useful or 
        interesting: that is the possibility of linking each button with
        one of the 9 timers available, this way 'TYPER' will send the keys
        to your applications every X seconds. (use with fax or modem ??)
        At the moment there is a limitation for X : it ranges from about 
        0.33 seconds to about 65.535 seconds (a little more than a minute).
        This is becouse i was too lazy to improve the code with a smarter
        use of the timers.
        If someone needs the timers do their job every ,let's say ,25 minutes
        or 4 hours or 14 days (who leaves the PC on soooo long ??), just
        tell me... I'll fix the code for you.


Something to add ?

        To install 'TYPER', run INSTALL.EXE from Windows.
        INSTALL.EXE 's code is also written by me also. Installation will
        check for the presence and version of the files to be installed 
        in your hard disk. It will NOT overwrite your files unless their 
        version is older than the one being installed. It will also add
        a 'TYPER' group and icon in the Program Manager window.


Nothing else to say... 

	Oh.. yes.. : feel free to spread 'TYPER' all over around the world.
	I don't ask any donation... (never got any!) ... but if you have
	soo much money to spend... think of this poor little student...
	working for mankind's lazyness... :)
