Both the US-Dvorak keyboard layout supported by Windows/Windows NT/Windows 95 and the layout provided by the old SureStroke device driver in MS-DOS can be created by re-arranging the keys on a conventional or extended PC keyboard. The ? is always above the /, the = is always below the +, et cetera. Well, almost, anyway. The old SureStroke translator makes the mistake of turning the / on the extended numeric keypad into a Z, since it was written before enhanced keyboards caught on. (The US-Dvorak layout in the various Windows platforms does not have this flaw, though.) -- Roger M.
