If you are using a fairly recent version of FreeBSD and use syscons, you can use kbdcontrol to load a dvorak keymap which can be found in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps. If you use a recent version of XFree86 with the keyboard extension, it comes with a dvorak layout option. Most any xterminal will work with the xdvorak program. The Amiga comes with a dvorak keymap standard. Some versions of MS-DOS came with dvorak keymaps. I think you can download an "extras" disks from Microsoft for recent versions of MS-DOS that includes a dvorak layout. Dvorak keymaps are readily available for the Macintosh, although there is a lot of variation among them. The one I use is available from Dvorak International. I may still have a line of emacs code to remap if you live in emacs and must use a dumb terminal. I once had a dvorak keymap file for NextStep. Back when I used CP/M, I used a keyboard macro program to make a dvorak keymap. I think that covers most environments in common use. http://www.ccsi.com/~mbrooks/dvorak has some more info. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================
