NAME

       bsod - Blue Screen of Death emulator

SYNOPSIS

       bsod  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-foreground  color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono]
       [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay seconds] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The bsod program is the finest in personal computer emulation.

       bsod steps through a set of screens, each one a recreation of a different failure mode  of  an  operating
       system.   Systems  depicted include Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, MS-DOS, AmigaDOS 1.3, Linux, SCO
       UNIX, BSD UNIX, HPUX, Solaris, Tru64, VMS, HVX/GCOS6, IBM OS/390, OS/2, MacOS (MacsBug,  Bomb,  Sad  Mac,
       and OSX), Atari ST, Apple ][+, VMware and NCD X Terminals.

OPTIONS

       bsod accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual
               Specify  which  visual  to  use.   Legal  values are the name of a visual class, or the id number
               (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

       -delay delay
               The duration each crash-mode is displayed before selecting another.

       -only which
               Tell it to run only one mode, e.g., -only HPUX.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the  name  of  a  resource  file  that  overrides  the  global  resources  stored  in  the
               RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

X RESOURCES

       Notable  X  resources  supported include the following, which control which hacks are displayed and which
       aren't.  doWindows, doNT, doWin2K, doWin10, doRansomware,  doAmiga,  doMac,  doMac1,  doMacsBug,  doMacX,
       doSCO,  doAtari,  doBSD,  doLinux,  doSparcLinux, doHPPALinux, doBlitDamage, doSolaris, doHPUX, doApple2,
       doOS390, doTru64, doVMS, doMSDOS, doOS2, doHVX,  doVMware,  and  doATM.   Each  of  these  is  a  Boolean
       resource,  they  all default to true, except for doAtari, doBSD, doSparcLinux, and doHPPALinux, which are
       turned off by default, because they're really not all that interesting looking unless  you're  a  fan  of
       those systems.

       There are command-line options for all of these: e.g., -bsd, -no-bsd.  (Also note the -only option.)

BUGS

       Unlike the systems being simulated, bsod does not require a reboot after running.
