Information about “TV/VOAPUK AND CRAZYDOS”
VOLAPUK is a combination practical joke and look-busy program. Start
the mock debugger and your memory is seemingly reconfigured, your hard
disk is diagnosed, and all errors are cleared from existence -- in
reality the screen messages are the only things that are changing.
TV simulates the late-night movie "War of the Ants" (that's where the
screen "fuzzes out" after the national anthem). Then, when you press a
key, the loudspeaker is silenced and the random pattern turns into a
beautiful person with the message "Dear User, I Love You." In a few
seconds the dreamgirl/dreamboy vanishes, the "War of the Ants"
continues. Another keystroke takes you back to DOS. The programs are
self-testing against viruses for security.
A wisecrack response for every DOS command, for your own entertainment
or a practical joke. CRAZYDOS is a temporary "replacement" for DOS with
some interesting responses to commands. There are some alarming looking
"error messages," but don't worry, there are no aliens, molasses, or
problems reading drive Q:. All "system crashes," "Chinese keyboards,"
etc., are imaginary and temporary, and can be ended by a keypress in
some cases, or ENTER in others. To exit CRAZYDOS you must tell your
computer "I love you."

Volapuk is a combination practical joke and look-busy program. Start
the mock debugger and your memory is seemingly reconfigured, your hard
disk is diagnosed, and all errors are cleared from existence--in reality
the screen messages are the only things that are changing. If this
program were interactive, it would be menu-driven and very professional
(it will fool any onlooker).
TV simulates the late-night movie "War of the Ants" (thats where the
screen ``fuzzes out'' after the national anthem). Then, when you press
a key, the loudspeaker is silenced and the random pattern turns into a
beautiful person with the message "Dear User, I Love You." In a few
seconds the dreamgirl/dreamboy vanishes. The War of the Ants continues.
