Just stick it in the AUTO folder before most of other stuff except BOOTSLCT.PRG (more about that later). NULLFILL is not compatible with everything so note which programs act up and disable it for them. To disable it hold down a shift key or toggle caps lock to caps WHILE THE PROGRAM IS LOADING. NULLFILL WILL SPEED UP 1MEG STs considerably (breathtakingly) especially when using a hard drive. The speedup only works with the old roms and the more free memory there is the greater the speedup. Note that NULLFILL was not written by me (just polished up a little). It was posted (source code) to the net recently. Please don't flame me... I burn easily. Also included (at no extra cost) is a program called BOOTSLCT.PRG. I wrote this so feel free to flame me. BOOTSLCT is one of those little utilities which allow you to shut off all .ACC and .PRG (in the AUTO folder) files or turn them on during bootup (very useful for a Hard drive). It is very small, fast and hassle free unlike some other (OK, they're more powerful but they are >70K long) programs. Put it in the AUTO folder (first) and boot up with it. To boot up with all .ACCs and AUTO .PRGs press F1. To boot up without anything press F2. You can wait until the prompt or you can put this keystroke in the buffer (type it before the prompt appears) so absolutely no waiting is required (I hate waiting!). Note: There is a 90day guarantee on BOOTSLCT. If for any reason you are not satisfied with this program within the first 90days of ownership let me know and you will receive the full purchase price back... no questions asked. ...John table !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>? @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]~_ begin 644 nullfill.prg M8!H #X $*G/SP ($Y!7(\O # X!%0@z M> 166(A3@&L*8 )*F%?(__QG&"\\ W#\\ E.05R//SP 3\\ $Q.04/Zy M "PA"3\\ "!.05R/(&\ !" \ ! -"H S0J 4T*@ '$)G+P _/ Q3D$@x M;P!*L?P _(6<8F2Q_ #\A8IM7$'O " ,D'____!L4""\?___\"QO $0H;O_\w M("[_QB( D$ ?W0 2_0( & "&P)1R?_\< B "0 )@ H "H + N "!
