± HARD AT WORK ties up your computer with a very important task so you can ±
± take a break. When you start HARD AT WORK, it selects one of 7 routines ±
± at random. You can pick your favorite routine by pressing the appropriate ±
± function key. The activity on screen looks too important to be interrupted.±
± If someone does try to interrupt the action by pressing ESC or
± a "DANGER!" message pops up, and a tone alerts you. The routine continues ±
± until you select something different with a function key, or until you ±
± exit the program by pressing
± ±
± To disable the F1 help key, start the program with the H parameter, like ±
± this: HAW H ±

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/
