  ****************************************************************
  Problem happens due to improper handling of file attribute
  checks when the macro file resides in Read Only folder.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified code to handle read only attributes of the macro
  files so the macros are executed even if they are in a read
  only folder or the marco file itself is read only.
  PCSKBD.DLL PCSCLIB.DLL and PCSWKBD.DLL have been changed.
