\bd steps through a set of screens, each one a recreation
20 of a different failure mode of an operating system. Sys-
21 tems depicted include Microsoft's Windows 95 and Windows
22 NT, Commodore-Amiga's AmigaDOS 1.3, SPARC Linux, SCO UNIX,
23 the Apple Macintosh (both the MacsBug debugger and the
24 rarer "Sad Mac"), and the Atari ST.

75 resource, they all default to true, except for doSpar-
76 cLinux and doAtari, which are turned off by default,
77 because they're really not all that interesting looking
78 unless you're a fan of those systems. There aren't com-
79 mand-line options for these, so to change them, you'll
80 need to add entries to your .Xdefaults file, or use the
81 -xrm option. For example, to tell bsod not to show the NT
84 bsod -xrm '*doNT: false'
