Maybe, but I’ve searched for it many times out of curiosity, but have never managed to locate it online, and wouldn’t know if paper copies exist.

From Wikipedia, I get to https://web.archive.org/web/20010204033600/http://publib.bou...

That has one live link: https://web.archive.org/web/20010107084700/http://publib.bou..., but from there, the trail runs dead.

Do you have a link?

Web developer classic: use Javascript to replace the native, working, internationally supported standard inputs with a different input mechanism that doesn't work.

(saving you a click: AZERTY has digits on the shift key, and for some reason the JS is handling raw keys rather than processed characters)
