Off topic --- Custom screens ...

Norton supplies a set of these files too. If you copy them from .SYS to .BMP files and click on them, you'll see Norton's customized screens.

Plenty of room for some fun with this stuff.

Cheers, PW.

Changing LOGO?.SYS files...

A LOOOONG time ago, a guy was having a time with his kids killing the power to the computer before windows was finished shutting down. The problem was the kids couldn't read and the 'wait a moment' and 'OK to die' screens looked the same to them. The guy just changed the message of the 'wait' screen to red and the 'OK' screen to green. Adults and kids had no trouble since then.

Cheers, PW.
