Tim,

Put a big ANSIBOMB there along with a hand shooting a bird, you would'nt miss K>that. also add some ansi music to the tune of the imperial death march.

Reminds me of a TSR a user uploaded long ago, that I lost in a
hardware failure.

It was a HARMLESS TSR, that would do something "funky" on the display
for about 5 seconds, after a certain number of keystrokes had
elapsed...such as:

1) A message saying "Your boss is standing behind you right now".

2) A message saying "Get Back To Work!!".

3) An ANSI of a clown sticking his tongue in and out at you.

PKWARE (who did PKZIP/PKUNZIP) had a program called PKSFANSI -- it was
a TSR that prevented ANSI bombs from re-mapping ones keyboard. I have
that in the files area over here.

I once wrote one that waited for keystroke activity, then started a short timer. When the timer expired, the system rebooted. I should sue Microsoft, because Windows 3.x and 9x later incorporated that feature! :D Back to my Trojan TSR, calling it PORNO.EXE and leaving it lying around on university hard disks ensured it was run a lot. :D

Yeah, pretty easy to do, especially in TP4 and later. :)

There were a couple of "safe ANSI" TSRs around back then.

It's worse if you're trying to poach eggs at the campsite, and the
game warden walks up to you...as you failed to notice the sign "No
Poaching Allowed". <G>
