*************** ALERT 1.0 **************
A combination "burglar alarm" and screen
saver, this highly unusual program con-
tinuously flashes "INTRUDER ALERT" and
"CALLING POLICE" messages, while also
producing sounds simulating a telephone
being dialed. The message locations,
and text and background colors change to
avoid screen burnout. Requires 286 or
better and VGA. Use the program freely,
and pay the $5 - $7.50 registration only
if it actually prevents a burglary......
C source included.

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

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

    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/
