    I have posted in PUB:[PC] the saveset LK250.BCK and its COMPRESSed
    version, LK250.BCK_Z.
    
    This is a kit of useful programs and documentation for anyone suffering
    from problems with LK250 keyboards, mainly on PCs, but possibly of
    interest to people with VAXmates.  For example:
    
    - save 4600 bytes of memory on a PC with a non-US LK250 (1800 bytes
    with a US version).
    - save another 2400 bytes with a non-US keyboard if you don't mind not
    being able to use the US mappiings via Ctrl-Alt-F2/3, and don't need
    the dead keys.
    - use Compose in any DOS program to make almost any code page 437
    character (like you can do on the VAXmate).
    - fix a bug whereby DECKEYB will not go resident one time in 256.
    - fix a bug on certain PCs (eg DECstation 316) whereby many LK250 keys
    produce the wrong codes, shift gets stuck, etc etc.
    - write your own keyboard mappings.
    
    Enjoy !
