the.golden.ax Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Maybe someone has a copy, or could easily make it again. Back in the old PC days on our Tandy, 386, 486 I had a little file I would run on boot-up that made all the colors in dos glow slowly into a spectrum of colors. I'd love to get a copy of that again for my old computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr. kwack Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Jeez, I thought you meant the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. On a side note the tag team "The Housewives" were my faves. For the humor factor at least... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 got tons of this kinda stuff. if you could be a little more specific I could probably find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 The one I had was really small and ran as an .exe and simply made all text at the dos prompt glow and change colors, fading in and fading out. Dos and all programs worked as normal, just spiced up the plain white text a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tremoloman2006 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yes! I remember this... I also had one that changed the fonts to graffiti. I'll look in my old DOS archives and see if I can find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yes! I remember this... I also had one that changed the fonts to graffiti. I'll look in my old DOS archives and see if I can find them. I do remember those. There was a nice variety of fonts you could change to instead of the regular default. My favorite utility was smooth.com. It would smoothly scroll a text file any direction for easy reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Man, I'd forgotten about most of these. But now that smooth.com & the font changers have been mentioned, I do remember 'em. I'll try to see what I can dig up, too. Gotta be an archive of old DOS utilities around someplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I remember a TSR that tried to display text-mode graphic cockroaches on the screen. Later came the Jerusalem virus that garbled the screen whilst attempting to infect more floppy disks. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Wasn't there also the Paul Tsongas virus, that put a silent T before words in text documents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Anybody find the actual glow program yet? I still haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
