   Hello, Paul!   
      
   17 Apr 19 08:00, from Paul Quinn -> Andreas Dissel, in URL @OFGHIUrl:   
      
    AD>> Create a 256 color bitmap (.bmp) of 320x400 and place it into the   
    AD>> root directory of your bootup hard drive. (typically C:\) (A   
    AD>> standard 8 bit 256 color is the type to use. Don't use a 16 bit   
    AD>> (ie.   
    AD>>  16 million colour pic) because it won't be displayed.)   
      
    AD>> Rename the pic to logo.sys   
      
   I did the following:   
      
   c:\> echo No Logo! > logo.sys   
      
   So we have a txt file here, no bmp. W95 tries to load it, failed and the boot   
   screen is disabled.   
   Great!   
      
    PQ> I hope it helps you, Andreas.  Have fun!   
      
   Yes, it did. Thanks a lot!   
      
   Best Regards, Andreas
