Entering the ESPEED command in a batch file

You may want to run the ESPEED program by including the

command in a batch file. Let’s say you have a program called

SLOWDOWN which requires a slower processor speed. You

could include the following commands in a batch file to start

the SLOWDOWN program:

ESPEED S
SLOWDOWN

You could name the batch file SLOW.BAT. Whenever you

need

to run the SLOWDOWN program, insert the program diskette

in drive A. Then type

SLOW

and press

The computer

changes the speed to slow and starts the SLOWDOWN

program.

See your operating system manuals for instructions on creating

and using batch files.
