- PC SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES (version 2.1)
-
-
- This program is designed to flash helpful subliminal messages on
- your computer screen while running other programs. Subliminal
- messages is a recent technique used to effortlessly change your
- behavior. This technique has been used to reduce stress,
- improve self-confidence, lose weight, stop smoking, and develop
- enthusiasm. Any message of your choosing will be flashed on
- your computer screen at a rate of up to 7200 times an hour while
- running word processors, spreadsheets, and language compilers.
-
- The first known application of this technique was in motion
- pictures when messages suggesting eating popcorn was flashed on
- the movie screen along with the picture. The subconscious mind
- of people in the audience picked up the message and the theater
- recorded an increase in popcorn sales. Now you can use the same
- technique to help you achieve any change or improvement you
- desire in your life.
-
- This program installs itself as an extension of the MS-DOS
- operating system. Once installed, the messages of your choosing
- will be flashed on the computer's screen at a random position
- up to twice per second. Both monochrome and CGA screens are
- supported. The message will be displayed for only one raster
- scan of your computer monitor. However, most monitors used with
- PC computers use long persistence phosphors on the screen
- increasing the time the message is displayed per flash. Because
- of this physical limitation, you will notice a definite flash
- when the message is displayed, yet it is very difficult to
- consciously read the message.
-
- Stephen Williamson is director of the Institute for Bio-Acoustics
- Research in Eugene, Oregon. After using SUBLIM, he wrote that
- the noticeably flashing messages are what he termed "preconscious."
- A subliminal is totally unknown to the viewer. In contrast, a
- preconscious suggestion is marginally perceivable. His research
- suggests preconscious conditioning may promise greater effectiveness
- than subliminals. He endorsed SUBLIM saying its preconscious
- display "is more powerful than old style subliminal messages which
- were totally buried."
-
- To use the program, edit the file SUBLIM.DAT with a text editor.
- Put one subliminal message per line. Use helpful messages like
- "I like to exercise" or "I relax". Then run the SUBLIM.COM
- program. The program will read the file SUBLIM.DAT and start
- flashing the messages on your screen. After running the program,
- you are returned to the MS-DOS command prompt. The shareware
- version of the program supports up to three subliminal messages at
- a time.
-
- In addition to your three messages, the shareware version of the
- program will also mix in several subliminal messages from the
- author. These additional messages are designed to encourage users
- to register shareware programs. These messages are:
-
- I am honest.
- I support shareware authors.
- I pay for the software I use.
-
- Registered users will receive a copy of the program without these
- additional messages. WARNING: Continued use of an unregistered
- copy of this program will cause you to want to register.
-
- With version 2.0 of the program, you can control the flash rate
- of the messages. Follow the SUBLIM command with a number from
- 9 to 255. A higher number results in a slower flash rate. If
- you do not specify a number, 9 will be used. Here is an example:
-
- A> SUBLIM 18
-
- Almost all programs will run with SUBLIM.COM except for modem or
- data communications programs which will lose characters. Before
- running these programs, stop the subliminal messages by rebooting
- the computer.
-
- Update Information: This is version 2.1. It fixes a bug in version
- 2.0 which affected running the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program.
