kbdlk 1.2.0.0 - United States-DEC LKxxx-style Keyboard Layout
=============================================================

kbdlk is built using the tools that come with the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC) 1.4. This comes with compiler and everything needed, so you don't need Visual Studio or the DDK. It also allows the creation of i386, IA64, and AMD64 DLLs.

To build, run

  buildall.bat kbdlk

This runs buildarch.bat for each architecture. buildarch.bat does the same compilation as MSKLC's kbdutool.exe, but uses my kbdlk.c and kbdlk.h instead of generating one from kbdlk.klc.

This creates a "build" subdirectory. Documentation and installation files are copied from the "setup" subdirectory.
setup.exe and the kbdlk_*.msi files were created with the MSKLC GUI using kbdlk.klc (just depends on the name - they don't need to be recreated with the DLLs). This is the only use of kbdlk.klc.

History:

kbdlk 1.0.0.2 : identical to 1.0.0.1 except that it is now built using the tools that come with MSKLC 1.4.
kbdlk 1.0.1.0 : update kbdlk.* based on kbdus.* created by MSKLC 1.4.
kbdlk 1.1.0.0 : Extra keys for PS2-USB converter (KBDLK_USBCONV). Fix F13-24 key names (also applies to kbdus). Add Euro (Compose/e=).
kbdlk 1.2.0.0 : Allow Ctrl+Shift+2/6/- (ie. Ctrl+@/^/_) again. This was lost in 1.0.1.0.
