A bit of a warning:  This particular utility goes away when you re-boot
your system, so it is of NO USE if you are trying to slow down a game
that contains a copy protection scheme requiring you to boot your
computer from the game diskette.  

Since such schemes boot you right into the game, you never get a chance to
install the SLOWDOWN program.  What is needed in such cases is a TSR
"slow down" program that can survive a warm boot.  I personally have never
run across such a thing, so I cannot recommend a program to use.
