FOR DOS/WINDOWS USERS: Attached is a program called Tap.exe. It can be ran either from DOS or using the windows run command. Tap.exe is a program that uses the D key on the keyboard for left handed tests and the K key on the keyboard for right handed tests. The program counts the number of keypresses of the correct key and the number of misses during a 60 second period. In the test, the left or right index finger one half of the finger and thumb taping procedure...and the correct key simulates the thumb. Each time (R)un the program is selected, the results are written to a file called result.fil.
