WS33INST Utility
The WS33INST utility provides 132-column text mode for
WordStar, version 3.3 by patching (modifying) the WordStar
program file. See “WordStar, Version 3.3,” earlier in this
appendix, for instructions on installing and using the utility.
SNOOZE Utility
The SNOOZE utility causes your monitor screen to go blank
after a specified period of time if your system has been inactive.
This preserves the quality of your screen display by preventing
any single image from being “burned into” the monitor. The
screen remains blank until you press any key; then it resumes
display of the current activities.
Installing the utility
1.
Run the VGA Driver Setup program on your Utility 1
diskette to copy the SNOOZE utility to your hard disk.
From the Main Menu, select Utility
programs.
Then select SNOOZE. See “Using the VGA Driver Setup
Program” on page A-4 for instructions.
When Setup asks for the name of the drive and directory to
contain the utility file, you can either press
Enter to use
the
default directory or change the pathname to your utility
directory, if you already have one.
2.
After you have copied the SNOOZE utility to your hard
disk, it is best to include the pathname for SNOOZE and
other utilities in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. See the next
section for instructions.
