SNOOZE Utility Program

This utility prevents an image, such as a menu or icon, from being burned into the phosphor of the monitor. The utility causes the monitor to go blank automatically after the system is inactive for a period of time, which you can specify. The screen remains blank until you press any key. Then the monitor resumes display of current activities.

Installing the Utility

The SNOOZE utility is in the UTILS directory on the Utility 1 diskette. Follow these steps to install it:

1.If you do not already have a directory for utility programs, create a directory for SNOOZE. (See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for information on creating directories.)

2.Insert the Utility 1 diskette in drive A, and copy the program from the Utility diskette into your utilities directory. For example, if you created a directory called SET, you would type the following and press Enter to copy the program:

COPY A:\UTILS\SNOOZE.COM C:\SET\*.*

Adding SNOOZE to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file

For convenience in accessing SNOOZE, include a pathname in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. To modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, follow these steps:

1.At the MS-DOS command prompt in the root directory, type the following and press Enter:

COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT+CON AUTOEXEC.BAT
