Slowdown... The Final Frontier...
:)
No responsibility is mine if your computer blows up, your liver
disintegrates, your house burns down, you catch a cold, you lose the
lottery, or you wet your bed.

This program slows down your computer. I made it since I sucked majorly
at Bananoid (an excellent MCGA pong like game) because the game went too darn
fast. When you load it up, it'll display a long message and prompt you for
a hexidecimal number from 0-FF. (Hex is the digits 0123456789ABCDEF) Then it
will read in some routines from its overlay, muddle with them, and spit them
out as NewSlow.Com, then it exec's it. NewSlow.Com may be run without the
main SlowDown.Com file, but unless you're nifty with Debug or CodeView or
some other hex editor, you'll need to use SlowDown to change the value. Do
NOT run either one from within DesqView, Windows, a shell program like XTree
or Norton or PC Tools, or any other of those things. Shelling to DOS and
running these is a no no too. This is a tiny TSR that hooks interrupt 1C and
cycles <userinputtednumber>FF times every timer tick, which is 18.2 times a
second. This won't screw your clock off whack unless there's a subtle bug yet
to be found or your CPU is a weird one.
Revision history:
1.0 First version.
1.1 Fixed bug that it wasn't passing through the interrupt. Freed
environment block on entry. Moved advertisment to the documents.
You may reach me at 1:283/120.1 for bug reports, or Chesters Corner if you
live in the Cedar Rapids area. If you do find a bug, tell me
A) What (if any) the number of the run time error was.
B) What it's behavior was. (Ie played Yankee Doodle and reformatted your
hard disk, or displayed fireworks, or made a horrid beeping sound and
locked up)
