- Mo'Slo v.1.2
- from Dr.David's Super Crispy Software
- Copyright (c) David Perrell 1990,1993
-
- Mo'Slo lets you to slow the speed of your computer to 1-99% of normal
- in 1% increments. To use it, you supply the name of the program you
- want to run slow as a commandline argument. Slowness is adjusted via a
- command line switch. If the switch is not supplied, Mo'Slo slows your
- computer to approximate a 4.77MHz PC/XT.
-
- Mo'Slo doesn't check the environment for path statements. You must
- give it the complete filename of the program to be run, including
- extension (COM, EXE or BAT), and a path if the file isn't in the
- current directory. (Since many games use other files to keep high
- scores, background bitmaps, etc., it's best to switch to the directory
- in which the game resides before running it.) You can also include
- commandline arguments to the program being called.
-
- To run pcgame.com at IBM PC/XT speed, enter:
-
- mo'slo pcgame.com
-
- To run at 8% normal speed, enter:
-
- mo'slo /8 pcgame.com
-
- When you exit pcgame, you'll exit Mo'Slo, and normal speed will be
- restored. (Mo'Slo doesn't affect the system clock -- it keeps on
- tickin'.)
-
- Mo'Slo won't slow a computer below its ability to operate. For a
- 4.77MHz PC/XT, 5% is minimum. A 20MHz '386 will run (crawl) at 1%.
-
- Mo'Slo without argument (or bad argument) gets you instructions.
-
- Mo'Slo works under PC/MS-DOS versions 2.0 and higher.
-
- Mo'Slo version 1.1 was posted on an L.A. BBS in 1990 in response to a
- complaint about the impossibility of winning at Pinball on a '386-25.
- Version 1.2 fixes a never-reported bug that could cause a crash or DOS
- instability on exit, improves the accuracy of the PC-XT emulation
- speed, and displays the % of normal speed to make it easier to adjust
- to taste.
