- WDW for Windows - For When You Really need DOS
- Copyright 1993 Bruce W. Nunnally, All rights Reserved.
-
- We are now offerring a premium for registering Projector -
- a second windows program, WDW.
-
- The technique is simple. WDW closes windows, runs
- a dos application, then restarts windows. The advantage
- is a stable, fast dos environment, at the price of the
- loss of multitasking capability.
-
- WDW is ideal for playing games that need speed - you
- start the game just like any other dos icon, but windows
- is not running in the background as it is in a normal
- dos window, or fullscreen. So all your cpu time goes into
- the game, and not into waiting for a task-switch command.
-
- In order to use WDW place the file WDW.exe in your
- windows subdirectory, usually c:\windows. Create a batch
- file which starts your dos application and place it somewhere
- in the path. From Windows Program Manager, use
- File|New|Program Item to create an icon for the dos application.
- on commandline, type WDW, then the batch file for the
- dos application as a parameter to WDW, like this:
- commandline: WDW mcgee.bat
- you can put the Name as the Name of the game, in this case,
- Mcgee.
-
- If you run WDW with no parameter, it will open a dos
- shell. If you run the LandMark speedcom program in WDW
- and in normal windows dos, you will see the difference.

-
- WDW was formerly distributed as windos. The name has been changed
- to protect the innocent.
-
- Bruce Nunnally, doing business as Nun's Meadow Software, makes no
- warranty or representation, express or implied, concerning the
- quality of any results to be achieved by the use of WDW.exe or to
- any matter whatsoever, including, but not limited to, its
- merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
