Thank you for trying PLOOP.EXE Version 1.0
PLOOP is a screensaver that lets you choose which images to
display. PLOOP Version 1.0 only supports 256 color PCX images.
This however will give you a large variety of color and PCX images a fairly easy
to come by. PLOOP works with many popular DOS based text mode
programs.
There are three sample images included. These images appear grainy
only because they were compressed with a commercial program after being
produced. Use original 256 color .PCX images and you will get a quality
typical for that screen resolution.
PLOOP is easy to use. Simply put your image files in one directory
and name them PLOOP0.PCX, PLOOP1.PCX, PLOOP2.PCX, ... PLOOP9.PCX.
The current version of ploop will randomly display up to 10
different .PCX files.
To execute PLOOP include the following command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
or type it at the DOS prompt:
PLOOP blankingInterval# ploop_drive:\ploop_dir\
Where Blanking interval is the inactivity period PLOOP waits for
before blanking and drive:\dir is the directory containing your ploop
files.
Example: PLOOP 5 C:\PLOOP
UNLOAD: To unload PLOOP.EXE press F11 while at the DOS prompt. If you have
loaded any TSRs over (e.g. mouse.com, etc...) unload these first or you
may not be able to unload PLOOP.
The fun you can have PLOOPing is only limited by your imagination.
