BADAPP: Demonstrates "Bad Application" Handling

BADAPP is an application designed for Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) versions 3.0 and 3.1 that can generate a GP fault and hang after receiving input. Its purpose is to demonstrate how Windows version 3.1 handles "bad applications."

WARNING: Before running BADAPP, save your work and close all other applications to avoid any problems that the GP fault or hang may cause.

When you choose GP-Fault or Hang from the Action menu, the "fuse" in the display area burns down before the GP fault occurs. If you have a multimedia system, the burning fuse will be accompanied by sound effects. You can choose Options from the Action menu to disable the sound, to modify the zoom factor, and to change the visible application title (limited to eight characters).

BADAPP was built with Microsoft QuickC(R) version 1.0. The fuse icons were created using the IconWorks sample application from Visual Basic(TM) version 1.0. ICO2BMP.EXE was used to convert the FUSE*.ICO and BOOM*.ICO files to FUSE*.BMP and BOOM*.BMP files.

BADAPP was built and tested under Microsoft Windows version 3.1.
