- HELPER.EXE
-
- Helper is a self-hypnosis help program. Using a combination of shapes,
- sounds, and words, Helper was designed to aid the self-hypnosis process.
-
- You are able to set time limits, create suggestion templates, store those
- templates to a file and recall them. If you register, you can receive Assist,
- a program which will cancel the Introduction pages, allow the use of a
- standard template file name, allow the storage of time settings, modify the
- Stage Two phrase duration, and create/edit template files. The registration
- fee and address are at the end of this file.
-
- Data input to Helper is self directing using tone and high lighted text.
- Error messages and syntax information will appear, high lighted, for 5
- seconds. Once Helper has the requisite data, it will start the session.
-
- !!!NOTE!!! Helper does require 1 of the following graphics cards,
-
- Hercules clone,
- CGA clone,
- EGA clone or
- VGA clone.
-
- The graphic detect routines are HARDWARE oriented, software drivers may
- not work. If a graphics card is unavailable or not recognized, Helper will
- terminate with an appropriate message.
-
- Helper seems to work best in a darkened, quiet room with the brightness
- and contrast controls at maximum. The suggestion phrases must be less than of
- equal to 40 characters per line, Helper will not accept more. There should be
- short and simple, easy to read and repeat to yourself.
-
- Make sure that you will be free of interruption and distraction. The
- program seems to work better if you are at least semi-relaxed before starting.
- Some of my better sessions have been after a Raspberry wine cooler.
-
- I will not argue the subjective vs. objective reality of hypnosis. If
- nothing else, maybe just the relaxation and repeatition will work the changes,
- I don't know. In essence, I believe the argument to be futile. If changes
- result, what matter whether the method involved is subjective or objective.
- The same arguements can be applied with equal validity to reality, so what the
- matter.
-
- Helper is keyboard interruptable. CTRL BREAK will stop the program
- anytime there is a request for a response, any key will terminate the timing
- sequence and Helper will finish the session, IN ORDER.
- i.e. you hit a key during Stage One; the trance induction stage, Helper
- will complete the Stage One sequence, continue through the Interim, once
- through Stage Two and finally the Termination phase BEFORE returning to
- Command.Com.
-
- Helper is written in Borland's Turbo Pascal Version Four. Special thanks
- to them for finally delivering a decent, low-cost, easy to use Pascal
- compiler. For once, something I like better than assembly.
-
- If you have any problems, questions, or suggestions; please give me a
- holler. In case of a, Powers forbid, RunTime Error, please note the error
- code and error address and include them in your missive. I will check the
- problem and get back to you A.S.A.P. (NO, I don't use a modem!) However, send
- correspondance to:
