- These are two versions of a joke program which makes it seems as though their
- game-playing is being reported to the company authorities! Which one you use
- depends on the screen type or resolution the computer is.
-
- It is easily modifiable to one person's name. To do this, use the enclosed
- hex editor FED.EXE. Do a search on the text string XXXX by doing a ALT-F,
- then entering XXXX as the string to search for. Now type ALT-A to go into
- ASCII entry mode and type the person's name you're playing the joke on.
- You have as much space as there are X's. Repeat this for the other occurance
- of XXXX, then exit and save the changes.

- When the program is run, the standard opening screen for Tetris is displayed,
- but a dialog box "Software Control Monitor" appears. The person's name
- appears as the default name to enter. Whether they click OK or Cancel, the
- program responds "<name> was logged attempting to run Tetris". Clicking OK
- closes the program (without running Tetris).
-
- This was programmed for me by a friend in Visual Basic. You need the Visual
- Basic runtime library VBRUN200.DLL to run these.
