I found a tiny DVORAK.COM (165 bytes) at http://www.ccsi.com/~mbrooks/dvorak/ which so far is working well. Ideally, though, I'd like to see the support for Dvorak built into the operating system. > You can also try Axel s and mine FreeKEYB driver (formerly known as > K3PLUS), which supports the two-handed Dvorak layout (at least for US > keyboard mapping).

I may be forced to use a right-handed layout in the near future, and the DVORAK.COM I mentioned above supports only the two-handed layout. Thanks for your information. -- This is a test of the emergency alert system. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be sitting here on my duff writing E-mail! I'd be running like hell!
