>>> MONSTER, copyright 1988-92, Alan Meiss <<<

MONSTER is a memory resident joke program. Once run, it hides itself in about
|
|
7k of ram, and waits. If the user presses the 'm' key, up comes the monster...
|
|
|
|
Try running MONSTER on a friend's terminal while they're gone, or better yet,
|
|
stick it in a batch file. Upon pressing m, they will be confronted by a large
|
|
flickering boogey-man. Screen text is not destroyed, and control is returned
|
|
to the current application when the monster disappears.
|
|
|
|
I make no guarantees about whether MONSTER will crash things or not, but it
|
|
seems compatible with other programs, and won't pop up in CGA mode. To still
|
|
type an m on the screen with monster running, just hit it twice. MONSTER
|
|
would also be effective if it lurked for a set period of time before jumping
|
|
up, but by using m as a 'hot key', it will wait for keyboard input to pop up
|
|
and not spoil the surprise prematurely.
|
|
|
|
No, don't send me money, I won't lay a guilt trip on you. Just enjoy the
|
|
program. I'm not at liberty to release the program code, but if you have
|
|
any suggestions or tales of fun MONSTER pranks, I'd enjoy hearing from you.
