FAKE.COM, SHORT FOR KEYFAKE.COM AS DESCRIBED IN PC MAGAZINE, DEC. 24, 1985 ========================================================================== Allows sending of keystrokes to application programs. The difference with redirection of standard input is, that FAKE relinquishes control after sending its keystrokes, whereis redirection to a file limits input to that file's contents. Usage (most practically in batchfile): FAKE ["Input characters"] [00] [@00] PROGRAM Where: [00] stands for ASCII codes for (non-printable or control) characters [@00] stands for extended ASCII codes for function keys, Alt-letter keys, Alt-number keys, etcetera. Strings can be delimited by either single or double quotes. Different types of input can be mixed. E.g.: FAKE 'WE"R4' 13 32 @72 "YES" 9 32 A batch file to modify the autoexec.bat, using the SCREEN editor could read: FAKE "autoexec.bat" 13 SCREEN A batch file to start the Turbo Pascal Editor and automatically say 'Yes' to the question whether or not error messages should be displayed, might read simply: FAKE "Y" TURBO FAKE was duly entered at the keyboard by Peter ten Hoopen, Amsterdam.
