Hello, Paul!

17 Apr 19 08:00, from Paul Quinn -> Andreas Dissel, in URL {at}OFGHIUrl:

 AD>> Create a 256 color bitmap (.bmp) of 320x400 and place it into the
 AD>> root directory of your bootup hard drive. (typically C:\) (A
 AD>> standard 8 bit 256 color is the type to use. Don't use a 16 bit
 AD>> (ie.
 AD>>  16 million colour pic) because it won't be displayed.)

 AD>> Rename the pic to logo.sys

I did the following:

c:\> echo No Logo! > logo.sys

So we have a txt file here, no bmp. W95 tries to load it, failed and the boot
screen is disabled.
Great!

 PQ> I hope it helps you, Andreas.  Have fun!

Yes, it did. Thanks a lot!

Best Regards, Andreas
