APRIL.EXE is a pratical joke program (serious stuff) that has been
prepared for use on your co-workers.
This program is harmless! With all the talk about trojan horse
programs, I can understand the concern many users have when running a program
that openly claims to be a joke. This one is innocent, good, clean, fun. It
will not cause any damage or loss of data to anyone.
April will generate a bogus error message, print some wild computer
jargon, make a little noise, and then flip the screen upside-down. At this
point it will print a ridiculous DOS copyright message and provide an upside-
down "C" prompt to await furthur input. When another key is pressed the
program will go through a similar routine and flip the screen back up right.
IMPORTANT JOKESTER'S INFORMATION : The only key that will allow you to
exit the program is the [Esc.] key. You can be a real hero when you solve
this mysterious problem for your co-worker by pressing the [Esc.] key at
either C> prompt.
This program requires a graphics adapter.
This program is not a resident program.
