There are times when you need to read the messages on the screen
during boot-up.  I can slow down my computer by turning turbo off but
sometimes that's not slow enough.

I know (= I think) I can pause these messages by inserting pauses in
autoexec.bat and by using PAUSEDEV or TPDEV to pause config.sys; but I
don't want it to do this *every time* I boot up.

It seems somebody ought to have come up with a program that lets you
simulate boot-up and print the messages to a file.  'Course I'm way
over my head here and there may be reasons why it's impossible; but I
thought it was worth asking.  Or maybe there are other solutions to
this problem?
