[comp.sys.ibm.pc] bugs? in POPALARM.EXE, plus a question

jchvr@ihlpg.UUCP (06/04/87)

I recently acquired a PD version f an alarm clock called POPALARM.EXE
It starts nicely but has I think one bug (is the author reading this?):
when I start another program on my HP-vectra PC-clone (80286) with EGA
card, the screenb freezes if this program does a clear screen. all is needs
is to hit any key and all is well. Of course this happens only once in a while
and only if POPALARM is loaded first. Any fixes possible here? Anyonwe have
the same problem?

Question: on the same POPALARM.EXE program. To set it going just must hit
ALT-D and then F2 or so to set it going. Is there some way that I can
do this automatically? I mean I bought a PC to have it all done for me.
and now to enter the alarm time and all that by hand is getting to me?
So does anyone know how to simulate input to this beast/beauty?
