As PC processor speeds have increased to beyond 200 MHz, we have found that many programs do not run properly at these high speeds.  For these programs, there is a program available that slows down PC processors so that they will run properly.  The program is called MoSlo, and is available from the web.  To install MoSlo for use with Logshell, follow these instructions:

 1.        Download the self-extracting executable file.  It is available on the web from http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/moslotry.asp.

2.        Extract the files into the directory that Logshell was installed in (C:\LS by default). 

3.        Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the directory Logshell is installed in (C:\LS by default). 

4.        Locate the Logshell.pif icon.  This is the Logshell Icon with the short cut arrow in the bottom left side of the icon.  The file type is “”Shortcut to MS-DOS program”.  Right click on the Logshell.pif icon and then select “Properties”.

5.        Click the “Program” tab and edit the “Cmd line”.  Add “MoSlo /25” to the front of the command line.  For example, the command line could be: “MoSlo.com /25 C:\LS\LOGSHELL.EXE”.

6.        The /25 parameter in the command line is the percent of full speed to operate the PC.  For very fast computers, you may need to slow the computer to less than 25% of full speed. You may want to try different speeds.  To do this simply change the /25 parameter in the command line to another percentage. 

Example: “Moslo.com /50 C:\LS\LOGSHELL.EXE.”

7.        Press the “Apply” button and then the “OK” button.

8.        Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the directory the Start menu program shortcuts are located in (C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs by default). 

9.        Locate the Logshell.pif icon.  This is the Logshell Icon with the short cut arrow in the bottom left side of the icon.  Repeat steps 4 through 7.

10.     If you have a shortcut to Logshell on your desktop, then select this icon and again repeat steps 4 through 7.

11.     Run Logshell as usual.

 

If problems occur when running with moslo.com, it may be necessary to run Logshell in the DOS only mode.  To do this and still preserve the “MOSLO” settings, go back to the LOGSHELL PIF (or desktop shortcut), right click, and select Properties.  Then select Program, and then ADVANCED.  Check the box that says MS-DOS mode. Then press enter and select “Apply” to activate this mode.  This allows the PC to restart with the MOSLO settings and run in DOS mode.  The user will be warned to close all Windows programs when starting Logshell in this manner.
