   Orginal version is in command.c, newer messages and features
   added in this version. Fun for all, compiles ok under
   Turbo C and Borland C as well as GCC for DOS. Have
   not tested it under Microsoft C or Visual C or any
   other C compiler. Uses DOS and BIOS specific commands
   to access keyboard and trap Esc and Control keys.
   Just load from the command line, and type in DOS commands
   as you usually would. Type in PLUGH or PUDGET or FAGE
   to exit this crazy program! :)

   *WARNING* do not replace with original COMMAND.COM file
   in DOS, or Windows 95, or CMD.EXE in OS/2 as this will
   not support operating system calls. Just load it in as
   a normal program and watch the fun as it simulates a
   manic-depressive psychotic computer trying to run an
   acient operating system! :) Its a good joke to play
   on Tech Support or your Boss. Just load this program
   on your PC, and tell them that your computer is going
   crazy! :) Only you know the secret to stop it with a
   code word from above!

   This is not a virus, it does not infect any files.
   All the code is what you see here, and can compile
   into an EXE file. If a virus was added to this file
   check with the people you got it from, I didn't
   add any virus to the EXE file, and somewhere down
   the line someone with an infected PC got their
   grubby little hands on it. Which is why the C
   source is included to build a new file from. 

   It is ment as a joke, and doesn't cause any damage.
   If the user tries to reboot the PC, let them in on 
   the joke before they do it. I don't want anyone
   to have cross-linked and damaged files because of
   a shutdown. 

   I have no contact with the original author, I found this
   program in 1988 and kept it and in 1996 I dug it off some
   old disks I had and started to modify it to add in more
   features like emulation of the mem, format, fdisk, win,
   and other commands. 

   You are free to distribute this program and make changes to
   it, provided that you include the original source code with
   it as I have and you give the file away for free. I didn't
   charge you anything for it, nor do I ask for any money.
   Just keep the program growing, and ported to many different
   operating systems if you can. :)
