What I miss most about my Amiga 2000
was that it was easy to redefine the
keyboard. I could put any code, or
indeed a string of codes, onto any
key at all. 

I had even made one for ISO Latin-3
in Esperanto and so could type 50 wpm. 

Now that XFree86 has ISO 10646 fonts,
I'd very much like to make one now for
Unicode. I could then stop running a
Perl script to filter every damn time. 

That would be so cool. Try as I may I
could never puzzle that out in Windoze. 

Surely it is possible in NetBSD. Where do
I start to find out how? And can I switch
it on and off like I used to on the Amiga? 

Millions would be ever so grateful. Okay,
thousands. Er, hundreds? A dozen? Well...
me anyway. 

Thanks, 

Gan Starling
