- Documentation for HOT-Boot's Public Domain Version
-
-
-
-
-
- This file is intended to tell you all you need to know to use
- HOT-Boot's Public Domain Version.
-
-
- HOT-Boot is designed to play a trick on somebody. In the regular
- program, you can either set them up for when they turn on their
- computer (boot time) or when they walk away from their idling PC
- for a break. But in the Public Domain Version, you can not do a
- trick at boot time, only while the PC is on (Now mode).
-
-
- HOT-Boot is safe; when a joke has been played, the system if left
- untouched and there are no traces. If you wish you can leave a
- message to explain the joke (This is achieved by pressing "M" for
- message at the appropriate time). The menus are self-explanatory,
- so all you need to do is invoke HOT-Boot by entering "HOTBOOT" at
- the correct DOS prompt.
-
-
- Once the program is started, you be able to pick from eight different
- tricks. The tricks are a small sampling from the full featured
- HOT-Boot and HOT-Boot II. Just follow the instructions displayed on
- each screen. If you need a little more information, press "H" to get
- a Help screen.
-
-
- Requirements
-
- HOT-Boot will run on IBM PCs, XTs, ATs and 100% Compatibles.
- However, you must use MS/DOS or PC/DOS versions 2.x or greater.
- Some tricks require a color card or graphics adaptor.
-
-
- Black and White Monitors
-
- HOT-Boot can automatically tell whether a PC has a monochrome
- or color monitor. However, it cannot tell if the monitor is black
- and white, so at the appropriate time, HOT-Boot will ask you if
- the trick is to be played on a black and white monitor or not.
- Simply enter "Y" if it is the case otherwise HOT-Boot will auto-
- matically default to no.
-
- Most Compact and AT/T computers have black and white monitors. For
- more details see the users guide for the PC in question.
