Hello,
I have a friend that plays games on an AT machine. She is looking
for a program to slow down her AT machine so that she can play the
games. I know that such a program exists. I glanced through
SIMTEL, but could not find one. Please EMAIL me pointers to such a
program, or better yet, the actual program.
Thank-you,
Roger

Included is a diskettes which includes a program called "SLOWDOWN" to slowdown a PC.

Included is a >diskettes which includes a program called "SLOWDOWN" A bit of a warning: This particular utility goes away when you re-boot your system, so it is of NO USE if you are trying to slow down a game that contains a copy protection scheme requiring you to boot your computer from the game diskette. Since such schemes boot you right into the game, you never get a chance to install the SLOWDOWN program. What is needed in such cases is a TSR "slow down" program that can survive a warm boot. I personally have never run across such a thing, so I cannot recommend a program to use. Tim Meighan Silent Radio
