            Notes and Hints for Using AccessDOS 1.1

AccessDOS is a package of utilities which extend the normal
MS-DOS user interface.  Although AccessDOS does a good job of
figuring out which type of hardware and operating system you
are using, you may occasionally run into combinations of
these, and/or an application which does not do things in a
standard way, which might give you a problem.  This AREADME
file provides a discussion of what you might expect in some
situations, as well as hints and secrets for getting around
some of these exceptions if you run into them.

This AREADME document does not provide any information on the
basic operation of AccessDOS.  For general operating
information on AccessDOS, please consult the file ADOS.TXT.
This file can be viewed or printed using any word processor
program.


A. AccessDOS AND MS-DOS


COMPATIBLE VERSIONS OF MS-DOS

AccessDOS was designed to be compatible with MS-DOS versions 3.3
and above.


LOADING AccessDOS INTO HIGH MEMORY

AccessDOS can be loaded into "upper" memory on your computer
to leave more space in your conventional (640K) memory.
(See the ADOS /X command in the AccessDOS user manual for 
important information about loading AccessDOS high.)

AccessDOS can be loaded high using the LOADHIGH command 
in MS-DOS versions 5 and above.  If you are using MS-DOS 6.22, 
you should use the MEMMAKER command to configure your system to 
make optimal use of the available memory.  You can also use a 
memory manager such as Blue Max (TM) and QEMM (TM).



B. AccessDOS AND MICROSOFT WINDOWS


DIFFERENT ACCESS UTILITY NEEDED FOR WINDOWS APPLICATIONS

Microsoft Windows 3.x (TM) is a separate operating environment
from MS-DOS.  None of the AccessDOS functions will affect Windows
applications.

However, Microsoft distributes another package for Windows
which provides most of the same functions as AccessDOS.
The package is called "Access Pack for Microsoft Windows."
Access Pack affects Windows applications only; you will still
need AccessDOS if you want to use the access features when
using non-Windows applications.  You can use both utilities
at the same time if you use both Windows and non-Windows
applications.

Ordering Information

Access Pack for Microsoft Windows is available on the Microsoft
Windows Driver Library as ACCP.EXE or ACCP.ZIP.  If you have a
modem, you can download Windows Driver Library components from
network services, including CompuServer, GEnieTM, Microsoft
On-line, various user-group bulletin boards, including BBSs on
the Association of PC User Groups or APCUG network, and the
electronic download service maintained at Microsoft (phone
206-936-MSDL).  The electronic download service is open 7 days
a week from 2:30A.M. to 1:00A.M.  Modem settings are:

1200,n,8,1
2400,n,8,1
9600,n,8,1 (V.32,V.32bis, V.42, V.42bis)

Customers within the United States who do not have a modem can
obtain disks by calling Microsoft Product Support Services at
206-637-7098.  Customers who are deaf or hard-of-hearing can
call the text telephone (TTor TDD) number at 206-635-4948.
Customers outside of the United States should contact the
Microsoft subsidiary in their country.


USING AccessDOS WITH NON-WINDOWS APPLICATIONS

AccessDOS can be used to to assist you when running non-Windows
applications that you start from within Windows.  These
applications run in an MS-DOS compatibility box under Windows.

You can start AccessDOS for use with Windows in either of
two ways:

1)  You can install AccessDOS before starting Windows.  The
AccessDOS features will then be available every time you enter
an MS-DOS compatibility box.

2)  You can start Windows, open up an MS-DOS compatibility box,
and then load AccessDOS within that compatibility box.  AccessDOS
will only affect applications you run inside that particular
compatibility box.  If you start another compatibility box the
AccessDOS features will not be available until you start AccessDOS
in that compatibility box.


AccessDOS CAN RUN WITH EITHER WINDOWS MODE

Windows 3.x can run in two different modes: Standard mode and
386 enhanced mode.  If your computer has a 386 or higher
processor, you can choose to run either mode; if your computer
has a 286 processor Windows will only run in Standard mode.

In either case, AccessDOS 1.1 can be started before starting
Windows, or it can be started within an MS-DOS compatibility box.

However, there are some cases where it is recommended that
you load AccessDOS before starting Windows, and then run
Windows in Standard mode.  These restrictions are discussed
in the following sections.


USING HOT-KEYS IN WINDOWS 386 ENHANCED MODE

If you run Windows in 386 enhanced mode, there are a few
situations where neither the AccessDOS nor the Access Pack
features are available.  This is most apparent in the
following cases:

1)  when you are running a non-Windows application and wish
to use a Windows hot-key to switch to another application.
 For example, if you start a non-Windows application you could
switch back to Windows by pressing the Alt and Tab keys at the
same time; however, if you use the StickyKeys or SerialKeys
features to press this key combination Windows will not
recognize it.  If you rely on StickyKeys or SerialKeys, you
will not be able to switch away from a non-Windows application,
and will have to quit that application to return to Windows.

2)  when a serious error causes Windows to put up a full-screen
message and prompt you to press a key.
 For example, if you press the Control, Alt and Delete keys to
reboot your computer, Windows will display a message screen
asking you to confirm whether you really want to restart your
computer.  In this mode the AccessDOS features are not active.


USING MOUSEKEYS WITH WINDOWS 386 ENHANCED MODE

You need to follow special steps if you want to do all of the
following:

a)  Run Windows in 386 enhanced mode, AND

b)  Start AccessDOS before starting Windows so that it will
be effective in each MS-DOS compatibility box, AND

c)  Use the AccessDOS MouseKeys feature with more than one
non-Windows application at the same time.

If you want to use Windows and AccessDOS in this way, you should
configure Windows so that it will handle AccessDOS appropriately.
You can do this by modifying a line in your the file called
SYSTEM.INI, which is located in your Windows directory.  You can
do this with the following steps:

Step 1:  Change directories to your Windows directory.

Step 2:  Load the file called SYSTEM.INI using a standard text
editor.

Step 3:  Find the section in this file that begins with the line
[386enh]

Step 4:  Within this section, find the line that begins with
"LocalTSRs=" without the quotes.  If this line does not exist
you must add it within this section.

Step 5:  Add the word ADOS to the end of this line.  If there
is already one or more words after the equal sign, leave a space
between the last word and the word ADOS.

Step 6:  Save your changes to the SYSTEM.INI file and exit your
text editor or word processor.


SWITCHING BETWEEN WINDOWS AND MS-DOS APPLICATIONS

If you use the StickyKeys or SerialKeys features and want to be
able to use the Windows hot-keys (such as Alt plus Tab) to switch
away from a non-Windows application, you must load AccessDOS first,
and then start Windows in Standard mode.

If you run Windows in 386 enhanced mode, or do not start AccessDOS
before starting Windows, you will not be able to use StickyKeys or
SerialKeys to switch away from a non-Windows application.


STARTING WINDOWS IN STANDARD MODE

If your computer has a 386 or higher processor, you can force
Windows to run in Standard mode by typing /S on the Windows
command line ("win /s").


RUNNING SERIALKEYS WITH WINDOWS AND NON-WINDOWS APPLICATIONS

If you want to use the SerialKeys feature with both Windows and
non-Windows applications, you will need to use special options
with AccessDOS.  See the section "Running SerialKeys with Windows"
below for further information.


C. AccessDOS AND PARTICULAR APPLICATIONS


HINTS GROUPED BY AccessDOS FUNCTION

Since most of these irregularities affect only one or another
of the functions, the hints are grouped by AccessDOS
functions.  They are presented in the following order:

     1.  StickeyKeys
     2.  Keyboard Response Group (SlowKeys, BounceKeys, and
         RepeatKeys)
     3.  MouseKeys
     4.  ToggleKeys
     5.  ShowSounds
     6.  SerialKeys

AccessDOS IS DESIGNED FOR STANDARD CONFIGURATIONS

AccessDOS was designed to work on "standard" hardware
configurations, such as an IBM PS/2 (R) Model 70 with a 101
key keyboard and a PS/2 mouse.  "Standard" is defined as the
purchased configuration of the computer.  If you have altered
the "standard" configuration of your computer, some or all of
the AccessDOS functions may not work properly.  An example of
a "non-standard" computer configuration would be an original
IBM Personal Computer or Personal Computer XT (TM) with a 101
key keyboard.  This is considered "non-standard" because the
original IBM Personal Computer or Personal Computer XT
computer was sold with an 83 key keyboard and the extra keys
of the 101 key keyboard may not be recognized.  If you have a
non-standard configuration and are having difficulties, try
using the original keyboard, etc., and see if the problem
