FRONTLETS
"Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in
your heart and in your soul, and bind them
for a sign upon your hand, that they may be
as frontlets between your eyes"
(Deuteronomy 11:18, KJV).
Description:
FRONTLETS is an inspirational program that
displays Bible verses in large, colorful, high-
resolution graphics on a VGA monitor. If installed as
a "TSR", the program can then be popped-up any time over
any DOS based text program. The program can also function
as a screen saver, so that after a user specified time
interval of keyboard inactivity FRONTLETS will pop-up on
your screen, and then alternate a different Bible verse
every 15-60 seconds until interrupted by keyboard activity.
The Bible verses are display in large 1 inch high letters,
and can be seen by others clearly halfway across a room.
FRONTLETS will surely attract a passerby's attention.
Special requirements:
To run FRONTLETS successfully on your computer, your
system must be equipped with a hard disk drive, VGA monitor
and an active mouse.
What is a TSR?:
The acronym "TSR" is short for "terminate and stay
resident." In plain English, this means that once FRONTLETS
is loaded into your computer's memory as a "TSR", it will
be available whenever you need it when the hot-key
combination [Alt+F] is pressed.
Setup
Enclosed with FRONTLET.EXE is a companion
configuration utility that allows the user to customize the
operation and appearance of FRONTLETS. SETUP.EXE is the
name of the configuration utility, and will allow the user
to change the screen colors and activate the password
protection and TSR functions. SETUP.EXE will create an
ASCII file containing the necessary parameters/settings for
FRONTLETS. Should the FRONTLET.CFG configuration file be
missing or corrupt, or SETUP.EXE is missing, you can
restore the defaults by the following method.
At the DOS prompt, enter the following:
COPY CON FRONTLET.CFG [ENTER]
10 [ENTER]
15 [ENTER]
7 [ENTER]
9 [ENTER]
N [ENTER]
FRONTLETS [ENTER]
N [ENTER]
1 [ENTER]
[PRESS F6 FUNCTION KEY]
[ENTER]
Technical talk:
Once FRONTLETS is loaded into memory as a TSR, it
will occupy only 5K of RAM. If loaded with the "TSR"
parameter, and once activated, either by [ALT]+[F] or
after the specified time interval has elapsed, FRONTLETS
will swap out the current program (if any) to EMS, and if
no EMS is available, it will swap out the current program
to your hard disk. Once FRONTLETS is popped-down, it will
reload you program exactly the way you left it.
If you loaded FRONTLETS as a TSR and wish to unload
FRONTLETS from memory, and you are at a DOS prompt, pop-up
FRONTLETS by [ALT]+[F], then once presented with a Bible
verse, press the exclamation mark key (!). This will unload
FRONTLETS, freeing up the memory it had previously
occupied, and return you to the DOS prompt.
Warnings:
Do not load FRONTLETS as a TSR if you plan on
running DESQView or MicroSoft Windows later. Your
computer may lock up if FRONTLETS is loaded into memory
PRIOR TO loading DESQView or Windows. You can, however,
run FRONTLETS from WITHIN either of these two programs if
you open a new window to run it from.
Disclaimer:
The author makes no warranties, expressed or
implied, as to the quality of performance of this program.
The author will not be held liable for any direct,
indirect, incidental or consequential damages resulting
from the use of FRONTLETS. Your use of the program
constitutes your agreement to this disclaimer and your
release of the author from any form of liability or
litigation.
If FRONTLETS does not work as a TSR, then try
unloading other unnecessary TSRs that may cause a conflict
in memory, and rerun the program. If this does not solve
your problem, I am sorry, there is nothing I can do for
you. Please DO NOT write me asking for a fix in such
cases. Your computer simply has a conflicting program
in memory that FRONTLETS evidently does not like. TSRs are
finicky by nature, and the author cannot guarantee that
FRONTLETS will work on all machines. Try rebooting from a
formatted DOS boot disk, and then retry FRONTLETS. If you
still encounter problems when run as a TSR, use SETUP.EXE
to turn off the TSR load up option (e.g. "Do you wish to
run FRONTLETS as a TSR?" <- Enter "N" to turn off TSR
option.)
Shareware and distribution:
FRONLETS is distributed as shareware. Shareware is
a "try before you buy" software marketing concept that
allows the user to obtain fully functional copies of
programs for evaluation. The distribution and copying
fee that you may have paid to obtain this disk does
not cover the cost of the software contained on this
disk. Shareware programs such as the one that you are
about to try require separate payment to the author if it
is found to be a useful product and if it is used beyond a
reasonable evaluation period. Registration is $10.00 USA.
