SCO UNIX, BSD UNIX, HPUX, Solaris, Tru64, VMS, HVX/GCOS6, IBM OS/390, OS/2,
MacOS (MacsBug, Bomb, Sad Mac, and OSX), Atari ST, Apple ][+, VMware and
NCD X Terminals.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.I bsod
accepts the following options:
.TP 8
.B \-window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
.TP 8
.B \-root
Draw on the root window.
.TP 8

If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
.TP 8
.B \-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
.TP 8
.B \-visual \fIvisual\fP
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class,
or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
.TP 8
.B \-delay \fIdelay\fP
The duration each crash-mode is displayed before selecting another.
.TP 8
.B \-only \fIwhich\fP
Tell it to run only one mode, e.g., \fI\-only HPUX\fP.
.TP 8
.B \-fps
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
.TP 8
.B DISPLAY
to get the default host and display number.
.TP 8
.B XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
.SH X RESOURCES
Notable X resources supported include the following, which control which
hacks are displayed and which aren't.
.BR doWindows ,
.BR doNT ,
.BR doWin2K ,
.BR doWin10 ,
.BR doRansomware ,
.BR doAmiga ,
.BR doMac ,
.BR doMac1 ,
.BR doMacsBug ,
.BR doMacX ,
.BR doSCO ,
.BR doAtari ,
.BR doBSD ,
.BR doLinux ,
.BR doSparcLinux ,
.BR doHPPALinux ,
.BR doBlitDamage ,
.BR doSolaris ,
.BR doHPUX ,
.BR doApple2 ,
.BR doOS390 ,
.BR doTru64 ,
.BR doVMS ,
.BR doMSDOS ,
.BR doOS2 ,
.BR doHVX ,
.BR doVMware ,
and
.BR doATM .
Each of these is a Boolean resource, they all default to true, except
for doAtari, doBSD, doSparcLinux, and doHPPALinux, which are turned off
by default, because they're really not all that interesting looking
unless you're a fan of those systems.
There are command-line options for all of these:
e.g., \fI\-bsd\fP, \fI\-no-bsd\fP. (Also note the \fI\-only\fP option.)
.SH BUGS
Unlike the systems being simulated, \fIbsod\fP does not require a
reboot after running.
