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.
