SoftSwitch
(ver 6.4)
Abandoned Freeware


SoftSwitch is a TSR that provides alternative input capabilities for the IBM 
and compatible personal computers (PC), allowing it to be controlled by one 
or more adaptive ("ability") switches. These switches include using the mouse, 
an on-screen keyboard, or morse code (one of its best features). 


If you have a joystick already connected to the computers gameport, you can 
easily see how the program works by launching the TSR with the parameters:
		SS /O /X
then, at the DOS prompt, pushing the "trigger" button on the joystick in the
appropriate dot & dash combination equivalent to the morse code character 
you wish to get (i.e., a short push = "E", and a long push ="T", etc.).


SoftSwitch is primarily intended for anyone who has difficulty operating the 
computer's keyboard or mouse. SoftSwitch works in parallel with your existing 
keyboard or mouse, allowing supplemental or co-operative use. It can be 
configured to provide either keystrokes equivalent to your keyboard, or mouse 
operations equivalent to your mouse, depending on the program you wish to control. 
You should think of SoftSwitch as a tool by which you can make a wide range of 
DOS programs available to switch users that would otherwise be inaccessible.
