This program is design to make people aware of the risks of leaving
|
|
a PC accessable to unauthorized users [or practical jokers]. It
|
|
is invoked as follows:
|
|
|
|
panic [/Ttttt] [/Ppppp] [/S] [/C] [/M]
|
|
where tttt is the time delay in seconds before the program
|
|
will begin counting carriage returns.
|
|
The default is 600 (10 minutes).
|
|
pppp is the number of carriage returns the program
|
|
will count before acting.
|
|
The default is 10.
|
|
/S requests that the second screen be displayed at
|
|
end of execution
|
|
/C requests that the program display its copyright
|
|
notice
|
|
/M requests the program to reactive after tttt
|
|
seconds and pppp carriage returns
|
|
|
|
The program intercepts keyboard input. It waits tttt seconds before
|
|
counting carriage returns. Untill tttt seconds plus pppp carriage
|
|
returns have returned the program does nothing -- all keyboard input
|
|
is passed through untouched.
|
|
|
|
Once the program determines that it is time to act it takes of the PC.
|
|
A full screen display appears that will stick terror into the heart of
|
|
the most seasoned PC user. After the program has completely distroyed
|
|
the user's mind an optional screen appears that says the program was
|
|
only kidding. By that time the user is usually reduced to tears.
|
|
|
|
The program becomes resident and occupies 46k of low memory which it
|
|
does not release.
|
|
|
|
