RSAWAIT.EXE
(C) 1991, RICK STRICKER & ASSOCIATES
18470 CORNELL RD.
SOUTHFIELD, MI 48075
(313) 569-4404
*******************************************************************************
Description
RSAWAIT allows the user to display a horizontal-scrolling user-defined
message. It was designed to be a more creative alternative to the DOS
PAUSE batch command. If you have a batch file that uses several
occurrences of the DOS PAUSE command, RSAWAIT allows you to use a
different message for each use to use.
RSAWAIT will also work from the command line (DOS prompt), but you'll
have to decide for yourself if that's useful or not.
*******************************************************************************
Usage
Syntax: "RSAWAIT <message>"
When using RSAWAIT without a message, the message "Hit [ESC] To Continue... "
will appear
Regardless of the message, [ESC] is the only key that will allow you to
break out of the loop to continue processing.
Date-sensitive built-in messages which appear only when no message is
specified:
On January 1, "Happy New Year!!"
On October 31, "Happy Halloween..."
From December 18 to December 31, "Happy Holidays!!"
On May 29th (anniversary date for RSA's opening for business)
an advertisement for RSA will appear (blatant huh?)
NOTE: If your message contains embedded spaces, you must use
ASCII value 255 in their place. This can be accomplished by holding
down the ALT key and typing "255" to place the character.
TYPE "RSAWAIT /H" for a brief copyright and contact info screen.

Contributions to the cause:
If you feel that this software has been useful to you, feel free to send
the author (RSA) $5. Cash is preferred - too many checks (incoming) have
been bouncing lately, and my basketball skills aren't what they used to be
(they never were). For added security, wrap the bill in a sheet of paper
before putting it in the envelope.
Alternatively, you can also send the $5 to your favorite charity, with
a brief note to us indicating your name & address, and the charity to
whom you sent the contribution. Either way, we like to know how far
our software travels.
Watch for more Shareware releases from Rick Stricker & Associates!
