      to the well-known KEYB.

## Options:

      /Xnn  This switch should be used to explicitly set the amount of storage
            space to be reserved for XStrings (where nn is the memory-size
            indicated in bytes).
      /U    (Uninstall), removes the resident copy from XKeyb from memory (if
            installed).
      /Q    (Quiet), suppresses the output of LIST paragraph in configuration
            files.

## Comments:

      As with KEYB, XKEYB is also a keyboard driver for MS-DOS computers, which
      is installed as a memory-resident program and can be configured for
      different countries using parameters.
      However XKEYB allows many more configuration options than KEYB. Thus,
      you can configure XKEYB not only for different countries, but also for
      your own personal preferences.
      On the one hand XKEYB permits the free allocation of all keys on all
      levels (normally with SHIFT, CTRL, ALT, and CTRL-ALT), while on the
      other hand it offers the flexibility to define character strings to
      individual keys on certain levels.
      Furthermore for each key it can be determined separately whether it is
      influenced by CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK or SCROLL LOCK, and if the SHIFT, CTRL,
      and ALT keys determine what values are issued.
      The programmer is provided with a PI (Program Interface) to XKEYB. It
      allows access to many of the XKEYB functions.
      XKEYB comes with the packet XKEYB.
