Howdy! I just saw your recent upload of BusyWarn. I saw the description, but it makes me curious about just what the program does. Does it display a "zzz" cursor, or lock the keyboard, or what? It sounds pretty interesting. I can imagine how it can be to have kids and try to get stuff done on one's computer… <grin> =Tom=

Tom, I checked that file before it was made public. It brings up a full screen picture and text that says the computer is busy – do not reboot. But it may do more than that, as well. At any rate – NO one could claim that they just didn't see it! Betty

Thanks for the note, Betty — but that's what I'm curious about, whether it does more than that. So you think maybe it's just an IFF display utility that's more specialized than most? =Tom=

Tom, that was my impression. When I hit Escape, it went away. Betty

Hi Tom! The program "Busy" simply puts an IFF HAM mode picture of a pretty blonde with superimposed graphics warning that the computer is in use on the screen … WITHOUT requiring any picture "show" utility. C.U. … John.

Sounds pretty neat, John — thanks for the info. =Tom=

If you try the program, Tom, let me know what you think. John / N6HI
