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]
DESCRIPTION
The bsod program is the finest in personal computer emula-
tion.
bsod steps through a set of screens, each one a recreation
of a different failure mode of an operating system. Sys-
tems depicted include Microsoft's Windows 95 and Windows
NT, Commodore-Amiga's AmigaDOS 1.3, SPARC Linux, SCO UNIX,
the Apple Macintosh (both the MacsBug debugger and the
rarer "Sad Mac"), and the Atari ST.
