Ctrl2cap is a kernel-mode device driver that filters the systems keyboard class driver in order to convert caps-lock characters With Ctrl2cap, a kernel-mode device driver, you can filter the systems keyboard class driver in order to convert caps-lock characters into control characters. People like myself that migrated to NT from UNIX are used to having the control key located where the caps-lock key is on the standard PC keyboard, so a utility like this is essential for our editing well-being.
Install Ctrl2cap running the command "ctrl2cap /install" from the directory into which youve unzipped the Ctrl2cap files. To uninstall type "ctrl2cap /uninstall". If you are running on 64-bit Windows run ctrl2cap64.exe instead.
Ctrl2cap requires ntddkbd.h from the ddksrcinputinc directory, so you must first copy that file to the ctrl2cap directory. To build a standard NT 4 driver type "buildnt4" and to build a Win2K WDM driver type "buildnt5". Output files are placed in the release subdirectory.
On NT 4 Ctrlcap is actually quite trivial. It simply attaches itself to the keyboard class driver so that it will catch keyboard read requests. For each request, it posts an I/O completion callback, at which point it takes a peek at the scancode that is being returned. If it happens to be a caps-lock, ctrl2cap changes it into a left-control.
On Win2K Ctrl2cap is a WDM filter driver that layers in the keyboard class devices stack above the keyboard class device. This is in contrast to the Win2K DDKs kbfiltr example that layers itself between the i8042 port device and the keyboard class device. I chose to layer on top of the keyboard class device for several reasons:
It means that the Ctrl2cap IRP_MJ_READ interception and manipulation code is shared between the NT 4 and Win2K versions.
I dont need to supply an INF file and have the user go through the Device Manager to install Ctrl2cap - I simply modify the appropriate Registry value (the keyboard class devicess HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlClass UpperFilters value). See the source code to Ctrl2cap.exe for more information.
The disadvantage of my approach is (and this an advantage or disadvantage depending on your point of view):
Because I dont install with an INF file via the Device Manager, the user is not warned that the Ctrl2cap driver file is not digitally signed by Microsoft.
In this particular case I felt that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. However, before you model a Win2K keyboard filter on Ctrl2cap I strongly suggest that you study the kbfiltr example from the Win2K DDK. Kbfiltrs interception point in the key input sequence makes it very easy for kbfiltr to inject keystrokes into the input stream, something that would be more difficult using the Ctrl2cap source base

Vitriol is a filter that was developed to change the colors contrast as if viewed through colored glass, but without tinting the image.

ASCii.art enables you to convert your pictures to textfiles. It allows you to convert your .bmp, .jpg or .gif file to a .html or .rtf file. You can choose which text the pixel should represent in the target text file.
The created textfile looks nearly like the original picture using colored text. To reduce the size of the target text files you are able to resize the source image or sample down the image format from 24bit down to 1bit.
ASCii.art makes it possible to convert your favorite image to an ascii picture!
And it will look like the original image!
This is done by expressing every pixel in your image with one or two colored ascii characters. Of course you have several options to configure the characters used to create the ascii picture. You may choose for example between: numbers, small/big characters, custom text and many more! To exactly fit your needs, you may change the font and fontsize used by the ascii picture.
Your image is too big? No problem.
ASCii.art is able to resize your image and even change the image quality. This modifications are only done in memory, your input image will remain exactly the same, so have no fear and use this feature.
In addition to these striking features ASCii.art is able to save your ascii picture in different formats. You may save the output picture as: HTML file without CSS, HTML file with CSS, RTF file, BMP image, PNG image, JPG image.
In contrast to these output formats, ASCii.art can read BMP, GIF, JPG and PNG images. And of course ASCii.art is multithreaded. This means that you may stop the creation of your ascii picture at any time!
