-
- There is a screen saver for dos called EXPLOSIVE I got
- from Simtel PD1:<MSDOS.SCREEN>
-
- This screen saver triggers after 1 minute and displays a screen
- with pretty fireworks.
- I installed it in the autoexec.bat
-
- Now I run win-os2.clock.exe in a seamless window on WPS.
- If I do nothing for a minute, explosive triggers and switches to
- dos full screen (which it shouldn't I think) and displays its
- firework pattern.
- If I press Alt-ESC to get back to WPS the screen mode is something
- like CGA, the fireworks continue and one ICON from WPS appears.
- Afterwards the fireworks stop moving and rien ne va plus but
- the reset button.
- The version of EXPLOSIVE (never saw such a fitting name ;-) is
- 2.02S
- If I run clock.exe in full window and explosiv triggers after
- 1 minute, the screen gets the color of the wps background and
- the system hangs, too.
-
- If I run my Z80 emulator ZSIM PD1:<MSDOS.EMULATOR> in two dos windows
- it doesn't run correctly. Without service pack it did.
