I just found some code that supposedly set and checks the states of the numlock, capslock and scroll lock. The name of the file is keystate.bat and it looks very similiar to a batch file but its not... anyone have any ideas what might run this code?
Code:
@echo off
::~~~1 Set, unset, or display the state of keys NUMLOCK, CAPSLOCK or SCROLL keys.
SEDOS %0.bat %1 %2 %3 %4
GOTO SE_EXIT
#define NUMLOCK_BIT 0x20
#define CAPSLOCK_BIT 0x40
#define INSERT_BIT 0x80
#define KEYS_SEGMENT 0x0040
#define KEYS_OFFSET 0x0017
KeysAddress = Address(KEYS_SEGMENT,KEYS_OFFSET)
main(argc,argv)
{
// check that the input is valid
if ( argc != 3
|| ( argv[1][1] != 0 || !strchr("+?-",argv[1][0]) )
|| ( strnicmp("CAP",argv[2],3)
&& strnicmp("NUM",argv[2],3)
&& strnicmp("INS",argv[2],3) ) ) {
Instructions()
} else {
// determine whether to apply to CapsLock or NumLock
if ( !strnicmp("CAP",argv[2],3) ) {
KeyName = "CapsLock", KeyBit = CAPSLOCK_BIT
}
else if ( !strnicmp("NUM",argv[2],3) ) {
KeyName = "NumLock", KeyBit = NUMLOCK_BIT
} else {
KeyName = "Insert", KeyBit = INSERT_BIT
}
// perform action on the selected key
CurrentState = peek(KeysAddress)
switch( argv[1][0] ) {
case '+': // Set Key ON
poke(KeysAddress,CurrentState | KeyBit)
break
case '-': // Turn KEY OFF
poke(KeysAddress,CurrentState & ~KeyBit)
break
case '?': // display and return state of key
printf("%s is currently set %s.\n",KeyName,CurrentState & KeyBit ? "ON" : "OFF")
return( CurrentState & KeyBit ? 1 : 0 )
}
}
}
Instructions()
{
printf("\a\n")
printf("KeyState - Set, Clear, or Show the keyboard state of NumLock or CapsLock\n");
printf("\n");
printf("SYNTAX: KeyState < + | - | ? > < CAP | NUM | INS >\n");
printf("\n");
printf("Where: + Set KeyState ON\n");
printf(" - Set KeySTate OFF\n");
printf(" ? Display current Key State, and return ERRORLEVEL 1 if set\n");
printf(" and ERRORLEVEL 0 if clear\n");
printf(" NUM Apply command < + | - | ? > to the NumLock key\n");
printf(" CAP Apply command < + | - | ? > to the CapsLock key\n");
printf(" INS Apply command < + | - | ? > to the Insert key\n");
printf("\n");
printf("Examples: KeyState + Num Turn on the Numlock key\n");
printf(" KeyState - Cap Turn of the CapsLock key\n");
printf(" KeyState ? Num Show state of NumLock, return ERRORLEVEL if set\n");
printf("\n")
}
