PC SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES (version 2.1)
This program is designed to flash helpful subliminal messages on
your computer screen while running other programs. Subliminal
messages is a recent technique used to effortlessly change your
behavior. This technique has been used to reduce stress,
improve self-confidence, lose weight, stop smoking, and develop
enthusiasm. Any message of your choosing will be flashed on
your computer screen at a rate of up to 7200 times an hour while
running word processors, spreadsheets, and language compilers.
The first known application of this technique was in motion
pictures when messages suggesting eating popcorn was flashed on
the movie screen along with the picture. The subconscious mind
of people in the audience picked up the message and the theater
recorded an increase in popcorn sales. Now you can use the same
technique to help you achieve any change or improvement you
desire in your life.
This program installs itself as an extension of the MS-DOS
operating system. Once installed, the messages of your choosing
will be flashed on the computer's screen at a random position
up to twice per second. Both monochrome and CGA screens are
supported. The message will be displayed for only one raster
scan of your computer monitor. However, most monitors used with
PC computers use long persistence phosphors on the screen
increasing the time the message is displayed per flash. Because
of this physical limitation, you will notice a definite flash
when the message is displayed, yet it is very difficult to
consciously read the message.
Stephen Williamson is director of the Institute for Bio-Acoustics
Research in Eugene, Oregon. After using SUBLIM, he wrote that
the noticeably flashing messages are what he termed "preconscious."
A subliminal is totally unknown to the viewer. In contrast, a
preconscious suggestion is marginally perceivable. His research
suggests preconscious conditioning may promise greater effectiveness
than subliminals. He endorsed SUBLIM saying its preconscious
display "is more powerful than old style subliminal messages which
were totally buried."
To use the program, edit the file SUBLIM.DAT with a text editor.
Put one subliminal message per line. Use helpful messages like
"I like to exercise" or "I relax". Then run the SUBLIM.COM
program. The program will read the file SUBLIM.DAT and start
flashing the messages on your screen. After running the program,
you are returned to the MS-DOS command prompt. The shareware
version of the program supports up to three subliminal messages at
a time.
In addition to your three messages, the shareware version of the
program will also mix in several subliminal messages from the
author. These additional messages are designed to encourage users
to register shareware programs. These messages are:
I am honest.
I support shareware authors.
I pay for the software I use.
Registered users will receive a copy of the program without these
additional messages. WARNING: Continued use of an unregistered
copy of this program will cause you to want to register.
With version 2.0 of the program, you can control the flash rate
of the messages. Follow the SUBLIM command with a number from
9 to 255. A higher number results in a slower flash rate. If
you do not specify a number, 9 will be used. Here is an example:
A> SUBLIM 18
Almost all programs will run with SUBLIM.COM except for modem or
data communications programs which will lose characters. Before
running these programs, stop the subliminal messages by rebooting
the computer.
Update Information: This is version 2.1. It fixes a bug in version
2.0 which affected running the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program.
SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION
If you find this software useful, please send me a contribution
