Ever seen a Windows ME or XP load?
This DOS program imitates the initial loading gauge (or whatever we want to call it) of those OS's.
Just place it on your autoexec.bat file, preferably before any mouse driver and ofcourse, before windows.

example:

@echo off
path  c:\windows;c:\dos;c:
c:\gauger.exe Loading...	::the program assuming it's located in c:
c:\dos\ctmouse.exe		::the DOS mouse driver
win				::windows

In the example above "Loading..." is passed as an optional parameter.  This will cause the word "LOADING..." (all caps) to show in the gauge screen.

It will look like this:



		LOADING...


      


It will automatically end after about 7 seconds.
