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
