PAUSEDEV - Simple pause command for CONFIG.SYS
Written by D.J. Murdoch (Jan, 1993) for the public domain.
This is a simple pseudo-device driver to let you put a pause into the
execution of your device drivers while DOS is booting. Just put a line
DEVICE=PAUSEDEV.EXE
into CONFIG.SYS in as many places as you need a pause. Each time DOS
tries to load this "device driver", you'll see "Press any key to
continue....". When you press one, the driver will unload itself.
The source code (included) is a simplified version of my TPDEV
demonstration device driver written in Turbo Pascal. Look for TPDEV in
TPDEV.ZIP wherever you found this program. PAUSEDEV does something that
TPDEV didn't: it initializes the CRT unit so that I/O is available.
TPDEV gives a more complete implementation of a driver that stays
resident.
This program is completely free; it's even free of all warranties. I've
tested it minimally using Borland Pascal 7 and DOS 5.0; use it at your
own risk.
