Husband 1.0
Important user notes:
There are alot of pressures to upgrade from Boyfriend 6.0 to
Husband 1.0. However before doing so make sure you understand
the implications of this change...
For one, system activity will be severely limited and you will
be compelled to instigate rigorous daily routines in space management,
garbage disposal and disc cleaning often with an accompanying
increase in system administration. This program can also be a
drain on many resources and demand constant attention. You will
encounter an increased amount of interrupts and error messages,
while the program often cancels processes without warning, very
often crashing the system. In addition, Husband 1.0 often refuses
to respond to your commands and frequently appears to be running
processes which you have not authorised. If this happens a lot,
do not respond to any interactive requests from the program and
severely limit demand for extra bytes.
Every evening there will be a huge surge in demand for megabytes
and if not satisfied, the process will become unresponsive and
has been known on occasion to damage hardware.
Every so often you will be promised a new release of the program,
but unfortunately, upon loading this new release, it is generally
found to be almost identical to the old one, with very few feature
changes and most of the same old annoying bugs which you were
undoubtedly promised would not be there in the new release. Put
up with it or discontinue use entirely. Husband 1.0 is a flawed
program; many of the bugs are so deeply encoded that, even if
they can be located, they are inpossible to eradicate and have
to be tolerated.
Husband 1.0 will frequently make use of low level language and
may not understand higher level commands so you must be prepared
to use basic functions when required. Often a few robust algorithms
in handshaking mode will produce a good response.
After a while, Husband 1.0 has a tendency to take up more space
than originally allocated, often spreading in size and slowing
down correspondingly. If this happens, be very careful as there
is increased risk of complete system failure. Around this time,
Husband 1.0 will also tend to lose bits from the top of the stack,
although these will often multiply and be found lower down the
stack.
Another problem with this program is that Husband 1.0 can also
spawn unknown child processes, which can sometimes inadvertently
appear, make huge demands on the program and force unwanted interaction
with old versions of 1.nightstand.
Sometimes, Husband 1.0 will end a process prematurely, before
you have the required result. This generally results in spawned
processes scattered over your system which must be located and
removed. More often than not, however, Husband 1.0 will appear
to take an inordinately long time to complete a relatively simple
process. While waiting for tedious processes to complete you may
find it useful to distract yourself by perusing manuals for alternative
programs, Stud 2.0 or Lover 6.9
On completion of a process, Husband 1.0 will often inadvertently
apply the sleep command, or suspend system activity with a Ctrl
ZZ. There is nothing you can do in this case, but leave the program
and try again later.
Ultimately, as the program becomes older, it will become more
difficult to produce hardcopy, and you will find that most of
you work ends up on floppies. In addition, you will be needing
software support more often than you'd like. If and when this
happens, try to find a copy of Toyboy 1.1. Make sure you have
used Ctrl ZZ on Husband 1.0 before loading Toyboy 1.1 and, of
course, check for viruses before using any new program. Toyboy
1.1 should come with new hardware which can be plugged into any
of your ports.
