Documentation for HOT-Boot's Public Domain Version

This file is intended to tell you all you need to know to use
|
|||
|
|
HOT-Boot's Public Domain Version.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HOT-Boot is designed to play a trick on somebody. In the regular
|
|||
|
|
program, you can either set them up for when they turn on their
|
|||
|
|
computer (boot time) or when they walk away from their idling PC
|
|||
|
|
for a break. But in the Public Domain Version, you can not do a
|
|||
|
|
trick at boot time, only while the PC is on (Now mode).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HOT-Boot is safe; when a joke has been played, the system if left
|
|||
|
|
untouched and there are no traces. If you wish you can leave a
|
|||
|
|
message to explain the joke (This is achieved by pressing "M" for
|
|||
|
|
message at the appropriate time). The menus are self-explanatory,
|
|||
|
|
so all you need to do is invoke HOT-Boot by entering "HOTBOOT" at
|
|||
|
|
the correct DOS prompt.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once the program is started, you be able to pick from seven different
|
|||
|
|
tricks. The tricks are a small sampling from the full featured
|
|||
|
|
HOT-Boot and HOT-Boot II. Just follow the instructions displayed on
|
|||
|
|
each screen. If you need a little more information, press "H" to get
|
|||
|
|
a Help screen.
|
|||

|
Requirements
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HOT-Boot will run on IBM PCs, XTs, ATs and 100% Compatibles.
|
|||
|
|
However, you must use MS/DOS or PC/DOS versions 2.x or greater.
|
|||
|
|
Some tricks require a color card or graphics adaptor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Black and White Monitors
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HOT-Boot can automatically tell whether a PC has a monochrome
|
|||
|
|
or color monitor. However, it cannot tell if the monitor is black
|
|||
|
|
and white, so at the appropriate time, HOT-Boot will ask you if
|
|||
|
|
the trick is to be played on a black and white monitor or not.
|
|||
|
|
Simply enter "Y" if it is the case otherwise HOT-Boot will auto-
|
|||
|
|
matically default to no.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Most Compact and AT/T computers have black and white monitors. For
|
|||
|
|
more details see the users guide for the PC in question.
