I have tried one or two of these and MOSLO.COM seems to be the most 
useful because it can be used on all machines and either be used to 
slow down a chosen executable with .COM or .EXE extension, or used to 
slow COMMAND.COM itself using a switch to specify the % speed 
required.  Then on typing EXIT at the command line the machine 
reverts to normal speed.  

MOSLO is of course only for MS-DOS.
