- Replacement Windows 95 Logos
- ============================
-
- PACK 1
-
- Revision date: July 30, 1995
-
- 1. Introduction
- ---------------
-
- Sick of the stupid blue-sky, everything's perfect in Microsoftland
- Windows 95 boot screen yet? Well, we were, and we decided that
- we weren't going to take it anymore!
-
- This is a collection of replacement logos for the Windows 95 boot
- and shutdown screens. We've made them all ourselves.
-
- 2. Installation
- ---------------
-
- Ok, first you'll want to know what the logos look like, so I left
- the .BMP extension on them for easier previewing. Just use MSPAINT,
- QPV or whatever to look at them. Remember they look stretched to
- twice their normal hight.
-
- You'll note these instructions are intended for a DOS window.
- Hmm... I wonder why. :)
-
- For boot logos, just copy the file of your choice to the root
- directory of your boot drive (see below) as LOGO.SYS. Windows will
- automatically find and use it there. For example,
-
- (from the directory where you unzipped this stuff)
-
- COPY WARN1.BMP C:\LOGO.SYS
-
- (if it asks you to overwrite, say yes, but don't blame us)
-
- The exit logos are stored in your Windows directory as:
-
- LOGOW.SYS - The cloud one like the standard boot logo.
- LOGOS.SYS - The "You can now safely . . ." message.
-
- Installing these is just as easy:
-
- (from the directory where you unzipped this)
-
- COPY HOLLY1.BMP D:\WIN95\LOGOW.SYS
-
- Of course, you have to put your Windows drive and directory where
- the "D:\WIN95\" part is . . .
-
- That's all.
-
- 3. The exit ones work, but the boot logo doesn't.
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- If you run Stacker or some such thing, your real boot drive probably
- isn't C:, so you have to put LOGO.SYS on the real boot drive.
-
- 4. Other crap
- -------------
-
- We're not responsible for anything that happens to your computer as
- a result of doing anything we suggest with these files (or with any
- files or ideas or suggestions), no matter how stupid you are.
-
- And no, I'm not going to type in capital letters, so screw off.
-
- 5. Who did this, and who can I yell at?

- help...
-
- 6. Release History
- ------------------
-
- WARNLOGO.ZIP was uploaded to ftp.cica.indiana.edu before we realized
- that we could make a lot more cool logos :) All it contained were
- the two warning logos. This is better.
