It took under an hour of my time to write it, so I am not asking for any donations for the use of KaosKeys. Judging by the success of my other joke TSRs, I figured it was about time to release another one. This version, Hidden Kaos, is capable of hiding from standard memory mapping programs. Usage: To load, just type KAOSHIDE at the dos prompt. Once it is installed, any alpha key typed (A through Z) will be randomly capitalized. Other keys will not be affected. The first time it is run, it will not display any message. This is to prevent suspicion on the part of the Jokee (the person you are playing the joke on (that isn't a word, is it?)) Running it again will display the copyright message, and inform you that it is loaded. The best way to play this joke is to rename KaosHide to something that looks harmless, like Speedisk, and add a line to their AUTOEXEC.BAT file that says "Speedisk FAST". Then reboot the computer and walk away. Since adding an uninstall feature to a program is such a pain, the only way to remove KaosHide from memory is to use programs like Mark and Release by TurboPower Software, or to reboot. By request, this version, which hides from MapMem, has been released. It uses some questionable programming techniques, but the source is commented. About the author: Address: Philip Maland 711 W.
