RUDEdos by Paul Tauger Page 1 Version 2.0 RUDEdos This is a totally safe program that turns a PC into a surly, uncooperative pain in the neck. Just type: RUDEDOS Starting entering DOS commands. NOTE: NDOSEDIT and other DOS command line processors will be disabled. TSR's such as SIDEKICK will continue to function. When RUDEdos gets annoyed enough, it will lock the keyboard and blank the screen. The screen can be restored by hitting any key several times. Exit RUDEdos by pressing CTL-A at any RUDEdos prompt. SUGGESTED USES 1. Place a call to RUDEdos in your autoexec.bat file. Your PC will automatically boot up in RUDEdos. Astonish your co-workers, friends and supervisors. RUDEdos provides security -- unless you know the hot key combination (CTL-A), you will not be able to access other PC functions. RUDEdos does not acknowledge either CTL-C or CTL-BREAK. 2. Load and run RUDEdos on your friend's (enemy's?) machine. Stay around to watch the results. 3. Prove to your non-computer type friends that PC's really have personality. GENERAL NOTES Remember that RUDEdos is totally harmless and will not hurt your machine or any of your files. The current version performs no disk accesses; however, disk accesses are simulated. Later versions will provide more variety of responses and may access the disk drives. Version 2.0 will work properly with a Hercules (or compatible) monochrome graphics card, though it will only display the C> prompt. Later versions will adjust for different graphics cards and active drives.
