 -- COMMAND LINE OPTIONS ------------------------------------------------------

        /I      this option must be used to install VGA Moire into memory.
        /U      this option is used to uninstall VGA Moire from memory.
        /T      use this option to view the current settings.

        /-      disables VGA Moire from automatically engaging; hotkeys still
                work, though.
        /+      reenables automatically engaging after the time limit has
                expired; NOTE that /- and /+ are nestable, ie, if you use /-
                twice, you must use /+ twice to enable VGA Moire.
        /D      disable VGA Moire completely; even hotkeys don't work.
        /E      reenable VGA Moire (after using /D).

        /S      save a copy of the current settings.
        /R      restore settings from a saved copy.
        /R-     forget all saved settings.

        /Ln     set delay factor for line-drawing speed to n (0..1000).


    The following switches can be turned OFF by following them with a minus
    sign (-).  Options with a star (*) next to them are ON by default.

        /B      blanking only; never draw the design, just blank the screen.
        /F      fade out to blank when blanking the screen.
        /G  *   Ghost mode (see section "Ghost Mode").
        /H      alternate method of blanking the screen; some VGA cards require
                this option to work correctly.
        /M  *   watch for mouse movement or clicks and restore the screen.
        /P      enable password protection; screen will not restore until the
                correct password is entered and [Enter] is pressed.
        /V      watch for video activity and restore the screen; usually this
                is not necessary.

        /Wn     sets time limit to n minutes; VGA Moire waits until n minutes
                have passed without any activity and then engages.
        /Zn     set which COM ports to watch; COM ports recognized are 1-4, use
                0 to clear the list of ports to watch, eg. /Z1 watches port 1
                and whatever other ports were already being watched, /Z01
                watches only port 1.

 -- HOTKEYS -------------------------------------------------------------------

        [LeftShift]-[RightShift]  -  engage VGA Moire.
        [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[<]          -  turn VGA Moire off (hear one beep).
        [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[>]          -  turn VGA Moire on (hear two beeps).

 -- MSCONFIG ------------------------------------------------------------------

        Use the program MSCONFIG.EXE to change the default settings and change
        the password.  MSCONFIG creates a configuration file (MORNSTAR.INI)
        which belongs in the same directory where you keep VGAMOIRE.COM.

 -- GHOST MODE ----------------------------------------------------------------

        Thanks to a friend in Arizona (Gary Dobbins), VGA Moire has a special
        new mode which makes it compatible with modem redialers and also with
        networks.  VGA Moire will allow DOS programs to continue processing
        even while it is drawing the moire design.  It draws bits and pieces
        of the moire design during the time when other programs are idle.
        This means that you can leave VGA Moire on while your terminal program
        is dialing and it will draw the moire design until your modem connects
        to another computer.  Then it will restore the screen for you.  Once
        you are connected, however, it will only blank the screen to avoid
        interfering with high-speed file transfers.

 -- IMPORTANT NOTES -----------------------------------------------------------

    **  Never install or remove VGA Moire from a menu system.  Always do it
        from the DOS prompt (you can use a batch file if you want to) or in
        your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

    **  VGA Moire does not work in conjunction with Windows.  It automatically
        disables itself to avoid crashing Windows.

    **  If you have a modem and VGA Moire is watching the COM port to which it
        is connected, you will see the border color flash whenever the phone
        rings.  Now you can wear headphones while working on your computer and
        still "hear" the phone when it rings!

    **  DESQview - To use VGA Moire with DESQview, set it to ignore the mouse
        and always blank the screen (use options /M- /B).

    **  SuperVGA - Some SuperVGA cards (particularly those with Tseng Labs
        chips) are *NOT* 100% IBM compatible, and there may be minor problems
        when restoring the screen (eg. in Word for DOS, the background colors
        may blink).

    **  GAMES - Most games are incompatible with screen savers.  We recommend
        turning off VGA Moire (use option /D) before running video games.
