/* This class opens up a dll that allows you to print objects to a secondary monochrome monitor. This can be usefull for debugging code. The character and line positioning variables in the dll are shared by all copies of the class, so you can create several objects of this class and they will not write overtop of each other. If you do open several objects, make sure you close each one. */!!

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
